The Japanese reception of Lukács begins in 1927 with a partial translation of History and Class Consciousness https://t.co/zd9RSzygLE https://t.co/iKlnijCORx

my own research has traced the first reception of hegel farther back — to the tenpo era

He was the one who found these first mentions, I just checked his sources on Kikuzô, the Asahi Shimbun database
I called Kita Ikki a rightwing ‘revolutionary’ partly because that’s how his and his ilk were described by the U.S. Strategic Bombing Survey

Look at the number of sugar companies grow in Taiwan!
And the total capital stock of the sugar industry jump from ¥1m to ¥125m in just 16 years!
And the non-stop mergers [合併] in this competitive industry

And the Lewes doesn’t appear in that catalogue of foreign books (though it’s not complete, as many books were lost before being catalogued, see: https://t.co/Vyikt5iLsV) but the Nieuwenhuis does
Anyway, now we can place Kant in Japan earlier than anybody had guessed — the 1830s!
But given the high regard the dictionary had among the scholars of Dutch learning and the substantial treatments of the 4 philosophers in it, this makes for a much more convincing account than Miyanaga’s *unsubstantiated* hypothesis that it was via Lewes: https://t.co/ihaAhOzbyn
Nieuwenhuis’s dictionary was used as a source in works by scholars of Dutch learning Watanabe Kazan (in 1839); Mitsukuri Shôgo (in 1844) and Mitsukuri Genpo (in 1851) as Miyachi Eyako’s research here shows: https://t.co/grPiG9fzyh https://t.co/JgjxzOzC0U
@RajiSteineck @RoiRoiDame it’s hard to reconstruct what nishi’s reading may have been like before he left for leiden in 1862, because the catalogue of foreign books that bakufu had (at e.g. 蕃書調所, where nishi taught from 1857 with tsuda) is partial, most books having been lost: https://t.co/Vyikt5iLsV
@ktdrozdowski The reception begins in 1812 with a written statement of a Russian naval officer captured in Japan, after landing on Kunashir Island. He described his circumstances but also what was happening in Europe at the time

Wow, looks like smiling in photographs really took off after the Great War! This graph shows the percentage of photographed individuals who are smiling in the newspaper Tokyo Asahi Shimbun over the Taishō era (1912-26)

That is, Yamamoto Miono thought that the ideal future everyone had in mind for Korea was that it’ll be allowed to become a dominion like the British did for Canada, Australia and South Africa.

@kumashirokeishi @dambaras As Hirai notes in her book『日本占領とジェンダー』and in this article for ジェンダー史学 (https://t.co/RGF7IOmPBN), when Konoe called on Saka, he found in him someone who had the technical know-how to set up such facilities from during the war.

This 1924 report on the ‘Korean Labourer Issue’ from the Research Office of Social Bureau of Osaka City contains much data on imperial labour dyanmics.

@Andrew_Levidis Continuing with the 福沢 comparison — in the Q&A, I believe you mentioned the idea of exporting 明治維新 to China, which is something 福沢 hints at here, though he seems to have wavered between East Asian development through independence vs. invasion. https://t.co/GWGsIhUSMN https://t.co/HQJYATBSLi
Thanks for that insightful talk, @Andrew_Levidis! Hearing you describe what the New China meant to 津久井, I was struck by the continuity of it all, reminded as I was of 福沢諭吉, who too saw a mirror on the continent, reflecting back Japan’s former self! https://t.co/BTiVXps7t5 https://t.co/yQEcwTSe2E
@Andrew_Levidis @ernestleungmt It’s interesting that Kishi published 『日本戦時経済の進む途』(https://t.co/oeHonT4B2c) the same year and it has a preface by Kojima and he says they’re buddies! Perhaps it was a coordinated one-two punch?
@Andrew_Levidis @ernestleungmt Re: Kojima's assistants, this preface to a 1934 volume (https://t.co/y7qu0rhx2b) published under the research bureau's name lists 中村金治 and 山浦満輝南 (?). I've scoured the net and found these alumni too: 森山茂樹、稲葉四郎、高峻石、島田千代丸. Behind a prolific man, a team! https://t.co/9tFYz6ZA6r

@chabarera Nice! When I was reading up on voluntary associations in prewar Japan, I came across mentions of these divers.

In this speech from 1914, Goto Shinpei opines that the Japanese rule of Taiwan was initially a failure because his predecessors had emulated the way the French ruled Algeria, whereas he and Kodama had created a policy tailored to their specific situation: https://t.co/dBv5JANduL https://t.co/UJ4S3EKL61

@_niten @AllanRicharz @AmbroiseVelvet You're both correct. Japan signed treaties (known collectively as 安政五カ国条約) with those five powers, ending her seclusion, but four (英米仏蘭) renegotiated theirs after waging 下関戦争 together and the revised agreement (改税約書) was signed in 1866:

@B4Btv Reminds me of this funky translation of Nietzsche's "Zarathustra" as a Pure Land sutra I came across while trying to trace how "The Birth of Tragedy" got into Mishima Yukio's hands (and became his favorite book). Wonder if it's discussed.
