戰時中の日本における遼・金・元・淸史の硏究 --東亞硏究所の「異民族支那統治」を中心に--

Abstract

This paper focuses on a research project of non-Han regimes rule of China commissioned by Japanʼs East Asian Research Institute during World War Two, through examining documents in the Diplomatic Archives of the Japanʼs Ministry of Foreign Affairs, those in the National Institute for Defense Studies and “Haneda Tōru Diaries” from 1938 to 1940. The project on the Northern Wei, Jurchen Jin, Mongol Yuan and Manchu Qing dynasties of China contracted by the state-sponsored institute (EARI) was intended to provide policy recommendations on rule of Han people in China for the Japanese empire. The findings of this paper are: academically Haneda proposed that sinicization was initiated by non-Han rulers to successfully govern China, whose argument influenced younger scholars and the final report written collectively. Administratively Haneda was a coordinator between the EARI and the group doing the reserach and also saw the project through. By examination of the project, as WW2 intensified in the field, the final report more and more emphasized on immediately putting into practice in the occupied lands or colonies on the one hand, and the superiority of the imperial Japanese historical view on the other.
