项目摘要

From the beginning of the seventeenth century, Ryukyu maintained an ambiguous political status of dual subordination to China and Japan. After centuries under this arrangement, Westerners arrived in East Asia, including in Ryukyu and Japan. In this new framework, the US, France, and Holland stipulated international treaties with Ryukyu, and in so doing, they recognized a certain degree of Ryukyuan sovereignty. These treaties were written in classical Chinese and were dated according to the Chinese calendar, without any reference to connections between Ryukyu and Japan.When annexing Ryukyu, the Meiji state’s crucial issue was eliminating Ryukyu’s dual subordination to China and Japan. During my research as a JSPS post-doctoral fellow, through the interpretation of multiple documentary sources I answered to a question that so far has not been duly taken into consideration: How was it possible that these treaties, which prove Ryukyuan sovereignty, were prevented by the Meiji state from showing Ryukyu’s independence? This is a significant passage in Ryukyuan, Japanese, Chinese history, as well as in the Western role of Ryukyu’s annexation, which had never been explained before. In this way, I clarified that Japan's incorporation of Ryukyu, as well as the process that superseded it, was as an integral part of both East Asian and world history.Thanks to my activities as a JSPS researcher, in 2015 I received the "1st Professor Josef Kreiner Hosei University Award for International Japanese Studies," and in 2016 I received the "38th Bunka Kyokai-Higa Shuncho Award.

从十七世纪初开始，琉球就一直保持着对中国和日本的双重隶属的模糊政治地位，在这种安排下，西方人来到了东亚，包括琉球和日本。荷兰与琉球签订了国际条约，并在一定程度上承认了琉球的主权。这些条约是用文言文写成的，日期是按照中国历法计算的，没有提及它们之间的联系。琉球与日本。在吞并琉球时，明治国家的关键问题是消除琉球对中国和日本的双重隶属关系。在我作为JSPS博士后的研究过程中，通过对多个文献资料的解读，我回答了一个迄今为止一直存在的问题。没有得到充分考虑：这些证明琉球主权的条约怎么可能被明治政府阻止以表明琉球的独立？琉球、日本、中国的历史，以及西方在琉球吞并中的作用，这些都是以前从未解释过的，这样我就澄清了日本对琉球的吞并以及取代它的过程是一个整体。东亚和世界历史的一部分。由于我作为 JSPS 研究员的活动，2015 年我获得了“第一届 Josef Kreiner Hosei 大学教授国际日语奖”研究”，并于2016年获得了“第38届文化协会比嘉春朝奖”。
