 TEHRAN - A Persian translation of the travelogue penned by Japanese student Masaji Inoue in his trip to Iran in 1902 has recently been published in Tehran.
Published by Tahuri Publications, Iranian scholar Hashem Rajabzadeh of Tokyo’s Ryukoku University has rendered the travelogue into Persian in collaboration with Kinji Eura under the title “A Travelogue, the Trip to Transoxiana, Iran, Caucasus”.
Masaji Inoue was a student at the University of Vienna, who traveled to Caucasus, Iran, and Central Asia during his summer vacation, arriving in Tehran in September 1902. Although he undertook the journey for personal reasons, he met with several officials of the time and wrote details of his visits in his travelogue.
Rajabzadeh has so far translated eight travelogues by Japanese citizens who traveled to Iran during the Qajar and Pahlavi eras.
The “Travelogue of Fukushima” will be the eighth. Yasumasa Fukushima was a lieutenant colonel in the Japanese Army Intelligence who was interested in political and military affairs. He commenced his journey to Bushehr in May 1896 and reached Tehran in July, soon after the assassination of Naser ad-Din Shah Qajar (1831-1896).
