New Perspective of the Russo-Japanese War Studies : From the Multiple Viewpoints

2003-2004年，日俄战争协会定期举办了七次讲习班，以促进对日俄战争的研究。这次集体研究的成员从这些活动中获得了丰硕的成果，发表了一些文章，发表了一些演讲，开辟了研究俄日研究的新视角，特别是从文化层面和战争记忆问题的角度。日俄战争协会给予合作，于2003年12月举办了松山大学举办的民间论坛“Horyo-no Machi/Kokusai Toshi Matsuyama”。2004-2005年，俄日战争协会在长崎县对马岛举办了一次研讨会，并参观了与日俄战争有关的历史古迹。10月，该协会在爱知县犬山市举办了一次国际研讨会“明治村村/犬山市的日广森友研讨会”。该研究小组的一些成员作了发言或将该平台作为讨论者，该小组拓宽了国际研究项目的可能性。这被视为2005年5月19日至22日(宫崎县日南市)在Kokusai Kouryu中心Komura Kinenkan(宫崎县日南市)举行的日俄战争百年纪念暨朴次茅斯和平条约国际专题讨论会的前期专题讨论会。同时，该协会出版了散文集《日之光--日本帝国主义(日俄战争研究的新视角)》，其编辑为该课题组的四名成员。

In 2003-2004 the Russo-Japanese War Association held seven regular workshops in order to activate researches on the Russo-Japanese war. The members of this collective research reaped rich harvests from these activities, some published articles and others made presentations, which contributed to opening the new perspective on the Russo-Japanese study, especially from the viewpoints of cultural aspects and the problem of memories of the war. The Russo-Japanese War Association gave its cooperation in holding a civic forum "Horyo-no Machi/Kokusai toshi Matsuyama" organized by Matsuyama University in December 2003.In 2004-2005 the Russo-Japanese War Association held a workshop in Tsushima island, Nagasaki prefecture and took an excursion to the historic places concerning with the Russo-Japanese war. In October, the Association held an international symposium "Nichiro senso hyakushuunen symposium in Meiji-mura/Inuyama-shi" in Inuyama city, Aich prefecture. Some members of this research group made a presentation or took the platform as a discussant and this group widened the possibilities of international research projects. It was seen as a pre-symposium of the international symposium on the centennial of the Russo-Japanese war and the Portsmouth Peace Treaty, which was held at Kokusai Kouryu-center Komura Kinenkan 19-22 May 2005 (Nichnan-shi, Miyazaki prefecture). At the same time the Association published the collection of essays "Nichiro-senso kenkyu-no shin-shiten (New Perspective on the Researches of the Russo-Japanese War)", the editors of which were four members of this research group.
