Представа Балкана у јапанским медијима у Меиђи периоду
Images of the Balkans in the Japanese Media of the Meiji Period

Summary/Abstract: Modern Japanese newspapers, which had been established in the middle of the 19th century, reported on the contemporary situation in the Balkan Peninsula to the Japanese public throughout the Meiji period. This new media played a very important role on that point, because foreign news became readily available to the Japanese people who had had no means under a seclusion policy by the Tokugawa rulers for more than two hundred years. Articles from this period often described the Balkans in negative terms. This is mainly because they had no information sources of their own and had to depend on Western newspapers or news agencies. Japanese readers came to see the Balkans with the eyes of Europeans.
