The purpose of this paper is to analyze representations of the 'West, ' 'Japan' and 'Periphery' in the discourse of the studies of Lafcadio Hearn in pre-war Japan in order to examine the nationality and its construction, where representations of the 'West, ' 'Japan and the' Periphery intersected.<BR>'Japan' wanted a universality such as that of the 'West, ' but recognized the lack of it in the 1900s. In the 1910-20s, however, what was emphasized was the peculiarity of 'Japan, ' something distinct from the universality of the 'West.' And in the 1930-40s, 'Japan' wanted to project its universality as something distinct from the 'West.' But, in trying to legitimize the image of its 'self, ' 'Japan' appropriated 'Periphery' as something that should be excluded from, or included in that 'self image.'<BR>While the representations of 'Japan' was (re-) produced in such a manner, we can also find a residual uncertainty in 'nationality.' This paper reveals the complex process between the construction and the uncertainties of 'nationality' through analyzing representations of the 'West, ' 'Japan' and the 'Periphery in the discourse of studies on Lafcadio Hearn.
