抄録

Tokutomi Soho (1863-1957) is one of the most popular and influential journalists in modern Japan. This paper aims to investigate how Soho expressed his views of America from the 1870s to the 1950s. Although a large number of researchers have examined and investigated Soho's writings, little is known about his response to America in his life. 1. His early life and America In his youth, Soho had mixed feelings toward America. He thanked the American Board for the contribution to the Doshisha English School. At the same time, he unleashed his wrath upon Commodore Perry's gunboat diplomacy. 2. Japan-US Alliance I As a journalist, Soho asserted that Japan should have allied with the US and Britain. His purpose was to contain Russian expansion in the Far East cooperating with the Anglo-American sea powers. 3. After the Russo-Japanese War Confronting the Anti-Japanese Movement in California, Soho tried to reestablish former friendly relations between Japan and the US. However, he was obliged to break down owing to the Anti-Japanese Land Law of 1913. 4. Going to the Pacific War From the Peace Conference in Paris to the latter period of the 1930s, Soho had increasingly become anti-American. The Attack on Pearl Harbor and the success of the Japanese forces in the early stage of the war delighted him remarkably. 5. Japan-US Alliance II After Japan was defeated, Soho advocated the Japan-US Alliance again. His purpose was to contain the Soviet Union's expansion in close cooperation with America. His concept was just the same as the one he had shown in the 1890s.
