[Introduction to the Contents]
What did the Japanese Ambassador to Paris discover in his diplomatic and daily life with the European people?
The first part is a diary of the Japanese Ambassador to France for two years from January 2000 to December 01.
Surrounded by French culture such as literature, paintings, music, food, wine, etc., it describes the days when he noticed the difference of sense between Japan and France through various "diplomatic" official duties such as interacting with the people of Paris and people visiting Paris, introducing "Japan" to the French, and making efforts for mutual understanding.
The second part is a "Paris Literature Walk" where he left his duties as ambassador and wandered around the city of Paris personally.
Kafu Nagai, Toson Shimazaki, Toshikazu Yokomitsu, Yosano Akiko, Kanoko Okamoto, Fumiko Hayashi … He follows the footsteps of Japanese writers who once stayed in Paris, remembers the shadow of Paris in their literature, and adds it to his own experience.
