The Fact Of Jpanese Life Of The Lower Class And Japanese Capital In The "Manshu"

For the last few decades, Manchukuo studies have been done not only in China but all over the world. Most of the previous studies have discussed a war, military affairs or South Manchuria Railways. Moreover, these previous studies'point of view of analyses is either China or Japan. Therefore, their investigations are limited in certain area, but they have not observed the real Manchukuo.A major goal of the present study is to think about Manchukuo from a new and different perspective– that is Manchukuo's profit of financial capital, through"Manshu"written by Nakanishi Inosuke. Although this novel is a historical novel, it seems to describe Manchukuo at that time objectively and directly. The novel describes neither soldiers nor the upper class of Japanese, but the lower class of Japanese. With regard to understating one country, it seems that studies focused on the lower class can bring us further details.In addition, objective point of view which focuses on Japanese capital can reveal what the then Manchukuo was like. To emphasize Nakanishi's novel's character, I will compare his work with the other writers as well as Nakanishi who was in writing novel, and the other proletarian writers'work of Manchurian.In conclusion, I attempt to understand a Japanese writer Nakanishi Inosuke, Manchukuo at that time, and Japanese who were living in Manchukuo through this study. From the perspective of history, I believe this is a study of great worth.
