| Summary | The German-Jewish historian Ludwig Riess (1861-1928) is one of founders of modern historical study in Japan. As an Oyatoi Gaikokujin (hired foreigners) of the Meiji era, he taught at the Imperial University of Tokyo between 1887 and 1902 and introduced modern historical methodology to his Japanese students. Riess was deeply influenced by the tradition of 19th-century German historicism and initially dedicated himself to researching British history. After his arrival in Japan, he became increasingly interested in East Asian history and published scholarly articles on Japanese history in academic journals in Japan and Europe. When Taiwan became Japanes colony in 1895, he quickly reacted to this event with a lecture “Zur Geschichte Formosa’s” for German expats in Tokyo in the same year. In 1897, he published “Geschichte der Insel Formosa,” which is considered the first comprehensive work on Taiwanese history written by a professional historian. Additionally, he regularly wrote reports and commentaries on East Asia in German newspapers and was regarded as an expert on East Asia in Germany. This article attempts to present Riess’ view of Taiwan and East Asia and analyze its political and academic backgrounds. |
