| Research Abstract |
This research studies on the participation of Japan in the World's Fairs of Paris in 19th century (1867, 1878, 1889, 1900). These Fairs contributed to the development of relations between France and Japan, and the creation of "Japonisme" in France. However, the image of "Japan", formed through the interaction of the French organizers, the Japanese mission and visitors, was not the same among them. This research contributed to elucidate the political, economical, social backgrounds and diplomatic relations, which affected the national identity and the cultural images of "Japan" in the 19th century.
