| ABSTRACT |
|
Prince Kitashirakawa, uncle of the Meiji Emperor, died during the
pacification of Taiwan in 1895, when Taiwan became the first colony
of Japan. Afterward, he became a spiritual icon for Japanese colonial
rulers in Taiwan. At first glance, it is unsurprising that the Prince’s
sacrifice for Japan’s new colony earned him recognition as a national
hero. However, biographies and related materials about the Prince of
Kitashirakawa, both in modern and colonial Taiwan, indicate that he
had been involved in political struggles between the Satsuma and
Choushu regimes and the late Tokugawa regime’s imperial court, and
had been supported by feudal lords in the northeast during the
Boshin War. Since the Meiji Restoration, accounts of the victors have
dominated the interpretation of Japanese history. As such, the true
account of the Prince’s defeat was disguised after the Meiji period
until the pre-war period. Through examining the materials of the
Prince in colonial Taiwan, the “defeated” episode of his saga was
found to be related to the High Treason Incident and the issue of the
legitimacy of Japan's emperor. The historical views of the Prince's
defeat in colonial Taiwan may indicate another perspective of Japan
and its imperial system in the post-war era. This paper will examine
the discourse on the Prince of Kitashirakawa in colonial Taiwan to
expose how colonial Taiwan, on the periphery of the Japanese Empire,
challenged the core of Japan through questioning the legitimacy of
Japan's emperor. |
