  • Yosano Akiko (1878-1942) was one of Japan’s greatest poets and translators from classical Japanese. Her output was extraordinary, including twenty volumes of poetry and the most popular translation of the ancient classic and “The Tale of Genji and ” into modern Japanese. The mother of eleven children, she was a prominent feminist and frequent contributor to Japan’s first feminist journal of creative writing, and “Seito and ” (Blue stocking).In 1928 at a highpoint of Sino-Japanese tensions, Yosano was invited by the South Manchurian Railway Company to travel around areas with a prominent Japanese presence in China’s northeast. This volume, translated for the first time into English, is her account of that journey. Though a portrait of China and the Chinese, the chronicle is most revealing as a portrait of modern Japanese representations of China — and as a study of Yosano herself.

الوصف

Travels in Manchuria and Mongolia by Akiko Yosano is a travelogue written by one of Japan’s most prominent poets and feminists. Published in 1928, it details her journey through northeastern China during the 1920s, when Japan’s imperial ambitions in the region were growing.

Yosano combines poetic prose with keen observations, offering insights into the landscapes, cultures, and people she encounters. The work also reflects her personal reflections on nationalism, gender, and modernity, making it not just a travel narrative but a historical and philosophical document. The book captures the tension between her appreciation for the beauty of the region and the complexities of its political backdrop.
