Lecture Outline
This workshop featured four reports from research projects analyzing Japanese research materials on British East Africa during the interwar period. In the first report by Robert Fletcher, the policy toward East Africa was related to the colonial policy of the British Empire toward the Near East and other regions, and a comparison of the text of contemporaneous sources reveals a shared perspective on Japanese and British expansion into East Africa in terms of geographical understanding, racial theory, commercial interests, etc. He argued that there were shared perspectives on various aspects of the Japanese and British expansion into East Africa, including geographical understanding, racial theory, commercial interests, and so on. In the second report by Shimada Tatsuto, he discussed how the start of the Osaka Mercantile Marine Company's service to Mombasa in 1926 was positioned within the development of global shipping routes by the Osaka Mercantile Marine Company itself, NYK Line, and Dutch and British merchant shipping companies, and what significance its management had in the development of trade in Japan, He discussed the elimination of intermediary traders from the perspective of the development of Japanese trade. In his third report, Hideaki Suzuki pointed out that "general merchandise," which became an important export category in East Africa and other new markets in the 1920s, was discussed in the report in connection with civilization, and positioned the relationship between this point and Japan's supply of inexpensive goods from a broad perspective. Finally, Miki Sugiura stated that there was a logic among Japanese cotton traders who entered East Africa that cotton imports from East Africa drove exports of Japanese cotton products and sundries, etc. She also discussed the acceptance of Japanese-made clothing by the East African people from the perspective of differentiation from existing products and creation of new consumption. He spoke of the acceptance of Japanese clothing by East Africans from the perspective of differentiation from existing products and creation of new consumption. A lively discussion on each report and the whole was held with the participants. This seminar was co-sponsored by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) International Cooperative Research Acceleration Fund "Reconsidering Circulation: A Global History Connecting Material, Culture, and Environment," and the Institute for Comparative Economic Studies project "Craft History: Place and Context Formation in the Export Crafts of the 1850s-1930s," Hosei University.
