ABSTRACT

At the start of the first chapter of the book, author Tatsuya Kono states that Haruo Sato is an author that respected others “who cannot be Japanese” and tried to become such a person. This book portrays Sato’s journeys to Taiwan and China and considers how he depicted Taiwanese and Chinese people, “who cannot be Japanese”. Through his earlier work Sato Haruo Tokuhon, Kono had a basic familiarity with Sato’s works, but in this book, he provides a deeper and more detailed analysis, which brings creative insight into Haruo Sato study
