Description
Written by Camille *Gorget, Pierre-Yves *Donzet, Claude *Hauser / Translated by Mitsuko Suzuki The mission of a neutral country, Switzerland, fascinated by Japan, and the future of the Empire of Japan. A Japanese translation and commentary of the diary left by Camille Gorget, who was stationed in Japan as the Swiss Minister to Japan during World War II. First publication in Japan. Camille Gorget, a diplomat and writer of literary and legal works, documented her unique perspective on Japan during World War II while serving as Swiss Minister to Japan. Fascinated by Japan, Gorget came to Japan and witnessed the country's transformation. The difficulties in negotiating the relationship between the government and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, his dealings with the Japanese aristocracy*, violence and discrimination by the Kempeitai and the Army and Navy, the Swiss community in Japan, the bombing of Tokyo, the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the ever-changing political situation regarding the end of the war, and much more. The book is a candid account of the days from January 1940 to December 1945 in the form of a diary, and provides a vivid portrait of the hidden side of the Empire of Japan. The diary is a valuable source of historical*political data, as there have been no published accounts of the wartime experiences of Swiss citizens who spent time in Japan. What does Gorget's diary really mean for contemporary Japan? Pierre-Yves *Donze (Osaka University), a Swiss researcher living in Japan, examines the significance of the diary as an approach to understanding historical experiences in other countries, focusing on the mechanisms of memory. Claude Hauser (University of Fribourg), who has unearthed the diary of the Swiss Minister Gorget, provides background on the diary, the character of Gorget, and the role of Swiss diplomacy and the work of the Minister in Japan during the war. |
