*''Japanese'': 新渡戸稲造 ''(Nitobe Inazou)''
Nitobe Inazô was a [[Meiji period]] writer, perhaps best known for his book ''[[Bushido: the Soul of Japan]]'', which remains one of the chief sources for much of the modern misconceptions about the [[samurai]]. Nitobe was also an avid writer on colonization and colonialism, particularly on Japanese colonial rule in [[Taiwan]].
''Bushidô'' was published in [[1900]].
In [[1908]], Nitobe was named the first chair of colonial studies at the [[University of Tokyo]]. A series of lectures he gave on the subject in 1916-1917 have been described as having "constituted the first systematic study of the subject in Japan."<ref>[[Mark Peattie]], "Japanese Attitudes toward Colonialism, 1895-1945," in Peattie and Ramon Myers (eds.), ''The Japanese Colonial Empire, 1895-1945'', Princeton University Press (1984), 86.</ref>
