Naitō Konan in the Eyes of His Fellow Sinologists in Kyoto : An Analysis of the July 1934 Issue of Shinagaku in Memory of Naitō’s Passing

Abstract

Naitō Konan (1866-1934) was one of the leaders of the Kyoto School of Sinology in the early 20th century. As Naitō increasingly became a focus of research in recent decades, there appeared some exaggeration about his image and scholarship. Therefore, taking a look at how he was viewed by his fellow Sinologists in Kyoto immediately after his passing in June 1934, will undoubtedly help us to get a better understanding of Naito. From the seventeen articles included in the July 1934 Issue of Shinagaku『支那学』, one may get impressions about Naitō‘s personality and integrity, as well as his accomplishments as a book collector, an opinion leader, and a university professor.陶徳民教授古稀記念
