The Tanaka Memorial and China-Japan Relations

application/pdfUnexpectedly asked to speak about the Tanaka Memorial, I gave a lecture at the European University Institute on May 20, 2022. I would like to extend my cordial gratitude to Professor Giulio Pugliese for organizing the lecture. On the Tanaka Memorial, I published a book 13 years ago titled Nicchū Rekishi Ninshiki: “Tanaka Jōsōbun” womeguru Sōkoku, 1927–2010 [Understanding Sino-Japanese History: Conflict over the Tanaka Memorial, 1927–2010] (Tokyo: University of Tokyo Press, 2010). One chapter of the book was also published in a book, Toward a History Beyond Borders: Contentious Issues in Sino-Japanese Relations (Cambridge: Harvard East Asian Monographs, 2012), edited by Professors Daqing Yang, Jie Liu, Hiroshi Mitani, and Andrew Gordon.departmental bulletin pape
