| Research Abstract |
This research concerned the informational network made by Japanese intellectuals who studied abroad, especially in Germany, in the late 1920s and early1930s.
At the time, the Japanese Ministry of Education sent over 100 scholars and artists annually to Germany, UK, France and USA. This research focused on about 300 Japanese who learned social sciences in Berlin after the Kanto earthquake 1923. They reflected political diversities of Japanese domestic politics among left, center and right. This research made the list of about 50 leftwing scholars and artists and collected their life history and personal data and connections with other left members and their friends in Japan, Paris, London, Moscow, New York, Los Angeles, Shanghai, Beijing etc.
KUNIZAKI Teido, ARISAWA Hiromi, ROYAMA Masamichi, HIRANO Yoshitaro, NINAGAWA Torazo, SENDA Koreya, KOBAYASHI Yonosuke, KATSUMOTO Seiichiro, FUJIMORI Seikichi, SHINMEI Masamichi, etc. are in the list and their personal history are in the database. They are also in the website of special page of this research (Netizen College: http://www.ff.iii4u.or.jp/~katote/Berlin.html) and also in the investigator's English article, Tetsuro KATO, Personal Contacts in German-Japanese Cultural Relations during the 1920s and Early 1930s, in Christian W.
