The Meji Japanese Who Made Modern Taiwan describes the story of Japan's involvement and administration of Taiwan in the pre-war era, with a focus on the period from 1895, when Taiwan was made a part of the Japanese Empire, to 1945, when the Pacific War ended. It introduces the policies pursued and equally important, the personalities, philosophies, and ambitions of the administrators, engineers, and technicians behind those policies. In particular, the unique thinking, leadership styles, and contributions of Kodama Gentaro, Goto Shinpei, Hatta Yoichi, Iso Eikichi, and Sugiyama Tatsumaru, among others who contributed to the development of modern Taiwan, are introduced in great detail. Their accomplishments remain with Taiwan today, which helps explain the extremely close relationship between Taiwan (officially known as the Republic of China) and Japan maintain today.

Watanabe Toshio’s The Meiji Japanese Who Made Modern Taiwan is a source of enlightenment, along with his other works, for us to deepen our understanding of Japan’s administration and development of Taiwan in the pre-1945 period. It shows the contributions Japanese leaders—agronomists, administrators, and engineers—made toward Taiwan, which not only provided for its development but also the foundation for more than a century of close ties, mutual respect, and friendship. By translating this seminal book into English, Robert Eldridge has helped bring these contributions further to light for the global community.
