History of the Sino-Japanese War by Maxime Sauvage, trans. Shigema Narisawa, 1901
History of the Sino-Japanese War, 1901
A Japanese-language history of the First Sino-Japanese War (1894-1895), translated by Shigema Narisawa from the work of the French author Maxime Sauvage and published in 1901. This volume is notable as an early example of a Western military history rendered into Japanese, allowing readers of the period to study the conflict through a French analytical lens.
The First Sino-Japanese War was a turning point in the modern history of East Asia, reshaping the balance of power between China and Japan and setting the stage for the geopolitical struggles of the decades that followed. A contemporary account drawn from French sources and presented to a Japanese readership offers a distinctive cross-cultural perspective on the campaigns, strategy, and consequences of the war.
This is a scarce early-twentieth-century military history of real documentary value to collectors of military historical documents and students of late Meiji-era publishing and translation.
