University of Leipzing and early japanese Germanists

早期日本德国人，藤四郎，山口小太郎，关三郎。北中武、泽井洋一和上田清治的研究还很少。因此，我必须首先研究他们的生活。特别是我已经努力扫清了去德国留学的道路。根据莱比锡大学档案资料，我可以知道日裔德国人听过哪些讲座。他们听了西弗斯、沃尔克特、维特科夫斯基、科斯特和冯特等人的演讲。此外，我还能找到在莱比锡学习的地址和条件。当时德国文学研究的历史方法正处于鼎盛时期（以舍勒和科斯特为代表），但除上田清治以外的日本德裔学者并未受其影响。上田后来发表了关于莎士比亚戏剧舞台故事的著作。藤次郎不是历史方法的支持者，但他承认历史方法的优点。山口和泽井在那里似乎对德语更感兴趣。北中武用德语写了三部戏剧，这是非常值得注意的。

Early japanese Germanists, Teisuke Fujshiro, Kotaro Yamaguchi, Hidesaburo Seki.Takeshi Kitazato, Yoichi Sawai and Seiji Ueda were untill little researched. Therefore I had to research their lives at first. Especially I have tried to clear the route of studying abroad in Germany. And according to materials in archive of Leipzig university I could know lectures which japanese Germanists heard. They heard lectures of E.Sievers, J.Volkelt, G.Witkowski, A.Koester and W.Wundt etc. Further I could find the adresses and terms of studying in Leipzig. At that time in Germany historical method in literary studies was at height of prosperity (W.Scherer and A.Koester were representative), but japanese Germanists except Seiji Ueda were not influenced by it. Ueda published later the work on the hi story of stages of Shakespare dramas. Fujishiro was not supporter of historical method, but he rekognized its merit. Yamaguchi and Sawai seemed rather to be interested in German language in that place. It is very remarkable that Takeshi Kitazato wrote three dramas in German.
