The study was undertaken in preparation for a continuing study of place and furusato (home/origins)in Japanese-language literature, particularly in the context of the Japanese occupation of Manchuria (and, later,Manchukuo). This paper provides context for that project through a comparative survey with an eye toward thethemes of colon-becoming-nature and depictions of colonial lands as “no-place place” identified in my previousresearch. I conclude that differences in time period, time scale, language, and diversity of geographic locationshamper direct comparison, while I did discover some small overlap in the theme of literarily portraying place asan object of empire.}, pages = {57--65}, title = {An Introductory Comparative Study of Themes of Place and Nature in British and Japanese Colonial Literature}, volume = {5}, year = {2021}, yomi = {ソロモン, ジョシュア リー} }
