To Reform China: Naitō Konan's Formative Years in the Meiji Press

Extract

In the early decades of this century, Naitō Konan (1866–1934) became Japan's leading authority on Chinese history and contemporary Chinese affairs. His early education in Kangaku (Chinese studies) had emphasized the Neo-Confucian tradition of jitsugaku or the practical application of learning, a broad trend in Japan then and one subscribed to by Naitō's family. Thus, before his arrival in Tokyo in late 1887, Naitō was already deeply concerned with China. He also possessed a kind of Kangaku assumption that China and Japan were linked culturally, and by extension their contemporary fates before the West were linked. The jitsugaku underpinning to Naitō's thought spurred him to seek out solutions for China's ills (and Japan's) on the basis of his knowledge of the past.

1 See, for instance, Shōsekai, ’ Mampō ichiran, 168 (25 02 1888), in NKZ, I: 434–6.Google Scholar This piece begins with a quotation from Confucius to demonstrate how perspective can make something as huge as China seem very small. The next step is to show that the Trans-Siberian Railroad does just that, and the consequences for Asia will be devastating. Because China is helpless before the Russians, Japan will have to assume a doubly difficult role.

22 Another interesting essay of this genre, entitled ‘Pekinjō no enkaku’ (not in NKZ), appeared in December 1895. It delineated in extraordinary detail the Peking area of China from earliest times through the Ch'ing, with a catalogue of all its changes in name. Why would Naitō take the time in the midst of all his work to do the research necessary for such an article? Assuming an allegorical motive, the penname Naitō used, ‘Gayūsei,’ suggests a direction of analysis. While ‘sei’ (Ch., ‘sheng’) means a student or young person, ‘gayū’ (Ch., ‘wo-yu’) means to daydream happily while looking at travel books and maps as if one were on the road. The defeat of China was still relatively fresh in late 1895, and there is the implication here that Peking might once again change its name and become part of the Japanese map.

Both men lost their mothers at a young age; both had one older and one younger brother, a single sister, and a stepmother. The home in which Naitō lived during his normal school years is described as similar to Chu-ku Liang's ‘grass hut’ (ts'ao-lu). In his own introductory notes to the text, Naitō pointed out that as Chu-ko Liang at age twenty-seven responded to Liu Pei's request and ended his self-imposed seclusion, Naitō himself obversely had at age twenty-seven ‘returned’ to the cultural homeland of Japan in Nara and visited Kamakura.

46 Mitamura, 179, adamantly claims that Naitō was ‘editor-in-chief’ (shuhitsu) of YCH. Naitō's chronological biography states only that in ‘May [he] became an editorial writer (ronsetsu kisha) for Yorozu chōhō,’ NKZ, XIV:622. Aoe, 197–8, makes the strongest case for the view that Naitō was not chief editor by arguing that, if he had been, Yorozu would have certainly paid for his 1899 trip to China, proclaimed it loudly, and congratulated him in print, all of which they did not do. Aoe shows that Naitō arranged the trip through Sakakida Seibee, a friend of Hatakeyama Rokyū and a Diet member from Akita, and Nakamura Mokkō, and old friend of Naito's.

Perhaps the title, Bankoku shiki, should be translated as ‘Records of the grand historian of the world’ if Okamoto consciously patterned shiki (Ch., shih-chi) on Ssu-ma Ch'ien. Naitō knew both authors personally. Okamoto had travelled to China twice in the early Meiji years to visit Confucius's birthplace, and in 1899 was working for a translation bureau, the Zenrin yakushokan, with the approval of the Chinese ambassador to Tokyo, Li Sheng-to. Naka was a Landsmann of Naitō's from Nambu domain in Akita prefecture and is considered one of the founders of modern Japanese sinology.

Naitō arranged for Wen to present Naka with the Mongolian language text of the Secret History of the Mongols which Naka then translated into Japanese as Chingisu han jitsuroku.
