Abstract
This chapter examines the contentious conception of nature in Japan during the early Meiji era. It attempts to provide a rough guide to nature's chaotic career in the early Meiji period in order to underscore how volatile conditions were. The chapter argues that that the contentious efforts to reconstruct the relationship between politics and nature demonstrate how deeply and completely Japan's cosmopolis was being reconfigured during these years. It explains that the variegated concepts of nature during the Tokugawa period were dissolved in the early years of Meiji as Japan expanded physically and intellectually.
