Japanese Interwar Travel Writing and Ocean Liners : Passage to Europe, Korea and the South Sea

在1920年代和1930年代，日本出版了许多游记。这些都与日益流行的游轮密切相关，特别是在横滨和伦敦之间航行的尼克（日本邮船）。和治著名的《气候与文化》（1935年）也主要基于他1927年的欧洲之行。它的环境决定论，尽管过于简单化，但它表达并认可了日本游客在两次世界大战期间前往欧洲、韩国和南海的心理地图。和地的《不动》被批评为对20世纪世纪这一关键时期日本政治化世界的心理地图的一种话语式的呈现。

A number of Japanese travelogues were published during the 1920s and the 1930s. They were closely related to the growing popularity of cruises, particularly the NYK (Nippon Yuken Kaisha) line sailing between Yokohama and London. Watsuji's well-known Fudo (Climate and Culture, 1935) was also largely based on his travel to Europe in 1927. Its environmental determinism, however oversimplified, articulated and endorsed the mental map of the Japanese interwar tourists to Europe, Korea and the South Sea. Watsuji's Fudo is critiqued as a discursive take on the Japanese mental map of the politicised world during this critical period of the 20th century.
