CHAN, Tam Yee, *Hong Kong's Japanese: An Account of Nineteenth-Century Encounters* (Translated by Chishima Eiichi)

This book was published in Hong Kong two years before its return to China (1995). It is an abridged translation of a Chinese work that introduces accounts of visits to Hong Kong by various Japanese individuals, set in Hong Kong during its early days as an open port in the 19th century. These individuals include shipwrecked Japanese people who drifted ashore during the late Edo period, diplomatic missions that passed through Hong Kong on their way to Europe and America after the Meiji Restoration, and renowned journalists, writers, and literary figures (such as Fukuzawa Yukichi, Mori Ōgai, Yano Ryūkei, and Tokutomi Sohō).

This broad collection of records reveals the origins of "Hong Kong" by shedding light on the impressions and views Japanese people held of the city at that time.
