Abstract

De 1866 à 1880 et même un peu au-delà la France a envoyé au Japon des missions militaires pour apporter son aide à la création d'une armée moderne. Face aux menaces des puissances étrangères occidentales qui ont obtenu l'ouverture du pays, les pouvoirs politiques, d'abord le bakufu puis le gouvernement de la restauration, ont à marche forcée tenté d'égaler les techniques industrielles et la force militaire de leurs nouveaux interlocuteurs. C'est dans ces circonstances que les membres des missions militaires ont participé à l'entraînement de l'armée. Louis Kreitmann était l'un d'eux et, par chance, les carnets qu'il a tenus et les nombreuses lettres envoyées à sa famille de 1876 à 1878 ont été conservés. Grâce au patient travail de son petit-fils Pierre Kreitman et des éditeurs de ce volume, ces textes peuvent être présentés ici accompagnés de notes, plans, photographies, ainsi que d'articles divers et d'autres documents du fonds maintenant déposé à l'Institut des hautes études japonaises du Collège de France. Louis Kreitman durant son séjour au Japon a enseigné la topographie et la fortification, mais il a aussi voyagé dans diverses régions. Carnets et lettres n'ont pas été écrits en vue d'une publication : ils nous transmettent une vision pleine de vie et de spontanéité des diverses composantes de la société japonaise à un moment crucial de son histoire.

Abstract

"It is said that Japan is currently experiencing its third opening to the outside world. However, in terms of importance, rather than the so-called second opening--which refers to the reforms following World War II--the more significant opening was that of the Meiji Restoration, initiated and carried out by the Japanese themselves. Consequently, as Japan today finds itself feeling trapped with a sense of despair, it is to the Meiji era that we should turn, and more than to anyone else, the person we should turn to is Fukuzawa Yukichi. With the general reader in mind, this volume brings together the results of the present-day research into the accomplishments of Fukuzawa as part of an overall appraisal of the man himself"--Back cover.

Abstract

"Toward the end of the Tokugawa shogunate, Mutsu Munemitsu was ousted from his home Kishū-han as a result of his father's defeat in a power struggle. To avenge this, Mutsu bolstered his talent to become a man of "genius and learning in equal measure." He joined the Kobe Naval Training Center founded by Katsu Kaishū and, later, Kaientai, a trading and shipping company and private navy founded and managed by Sakamoto Ryōma before the Meiji Restoration was accomplished. During the Meiji era, Mutsu fully exercised his extraordinary ability, including working to revise unequal treaties with Western powers as foreign minister. In his last days, he scrambled to end the First Sino-Japanese War; his efforts resulted in the signing of the Treaty of Shimonoseki with favorable terms for Japan. Mutsu also helped Japan ride out the subsequent wave of the Tripartite Intervention from Russia, France, and Germany. This book's author, a career diplomat himself, traces the footsteps of modern Japan's diplomacy by reviewing the philosophical and political journey of this extraordinary diplomat who protected the dignity of Japan as a modern nation throughout his professional life" --
