Abstract
Koide Shogo is known as a children's literary writer who has been creative based on Christian humanism, but between 1941 and 1944, the theme of his work changed to Namyang, ships, seas, and travel. He published The Story of the East Indies, a human geography book of the East Indies, for Japanese children in 1944. The Story of the East Indies explains the geography, climate, resources, culture and plants of the East Indies in detail, and the idea of Daedonga public ownership is expressed while recalling Japan's mission as a small citizen. It is the discovery of trans-East Asian culture that he designed to make Japanese small people feel close to Namyang through the East Indies. The artist describes how similar the culture of the East Indies is to Japan at various levels, highlighting the movement and exchange of human and material resources in the past. The author's work can be seen as meaningful in terms of “respect” for others, “communication” and “finding commonality” between them when reading from the perspective of interculturalism today.
