《Hirobumi Ito》
Douban score: 8.1
◎ This book is acclaimed
This book won the 32nd Suntory Scholarship Award in Japan.
◎Introduction
Ito studied in England as early as the late Shogunate Restoration, and was baptized by Western civilization; after the Meiji Restoration, he formulated the constitution, opened a parliament, and served as the first prime minister, building the framework of modern Japan. However, later generations did not have a very high evaluation of Ito Hirobumi, believing that he was a politician without a philosophical mind, a realist without depth of thought, and a driving force behind the annexation of Korea. In fact, however, this is not the case. From the three perspectives of "civilization", "constitutional state" and "national politics", this book examines in detail the entire trajectory of Ito Hirobumi's life, and clarifies his neglected ideas and national conceptions.
◎ Comments
I can't understand Ito Hirobumi anyway, because he always moves between two clear opposites. Even throughout Meiji history, it is difficult to outline the image of Hirobumi Ito.
INTERVIEWER Kouji Sakano, Professor Emeritus, Yukyo University
If there is a trend in Japanese academia that reappraises Hirobumi Ito's research, then it can be said that Ito and Kazuhiro Takii are the two who make this trend rise. Kazuhiro Takii's "Hirobumi Ito" provides a core sample for us to fully understand the japanese academic community's re-evaluation of Ito Hirobumi's ideas.
