Description

After graduating from Sapporo Agricultural School, KOMAI Tokuzo joined South Manchurian Railway Co., Ltd. and assigned to the Regional Department. He actively engaged in several investigative studies of Manchuria. As the first Director of the General Affairs Agency of Manchukuo, he played a key role in the early governance of the ‘colony’ after the Manchurian Incident. One finds suggestions for Japan’s continental policy in reports based on surveys during his tenure and autobiographical writings published after retirement. This paper examines KOMAI’s writings and attempts to clarify the perceptions of colonial rule held by Japanese bureaucrats.
