Abstract

In 1911 Japanese colonial officials led forty-three selected aboriginal leaders from Taiwan on one of the seven “tours to Japan proper” (naichi kankō). The tours were organized in conjunction with the initial stage of military subjugation of the natives after the pacification of the Taiwanese-Chinese islanders.

These carefully orchestrated itineraries were intended to
