| Research Abstract |
This research project aimed at a comprehensive approach to the idea of"visionary Japan"or"images of Japan,"generated,formed, and developed in conjunction with the influences of British and American literature and culture. It also examined some related aspects of Japanese literary history. This project,based theoretically upon the ideas of trans-cultural"representation" and "contact zone" within the context of colonial/post-colonial criticism, explored and revealed how the shaping process of"visionary Japan" has been highly complicated. The literary and cultural discourses on the "visionary Japan"were analyzed through multiple viewpoints which revealed the continuing process of producing the images of "visionary Japan." "Visionary Japan"has been produced and consumed individually through such a comprehensive process.
