しかも、ただ贈っていただけただけでも十分ありがたいのに、数年前の『史学雑誌』に掲載された拙稿で明らかにした「琉球処分」に関する小さな発見が、塩出先生のナラティブの中に組み込まれていたのがとても嬉しかったです。塩出先生、ありがとうございます！

紹介が遅くなりましたが、先日、塩出浩之先生の新しいご高著『琉球処分』をご恵贈いただきました。
「琉球処分」に関する最前線の研究成果がふんだんに盛り込まれた、大変素晴らしい力作です。とりわけ「尚家文書」の活用に重点を置かれている点は大きな見どころだと思います。
This forthcoming book with @reaktionbooks.bsky.social wouldn't look the way it does without support from Leverhulme Trust, who gave a grant which paid for the crucial pics, and the researcher to get hold of them. Thankyou @leverhulme.ac.uk .

講義準備で、これまで積読状態だったGeoffrey Parkerの大著『Global Crisis』を読み漁り始めた。明清交替に関する部分の註を確認したら、田口宏二朗先生のお助けを頂いたおかげで、日本人東洋史家の業績や漢文史料を参照できたので、記して謝意申し上げたい云々と書いてあってびっくり。思わずにんまり。

Pleased to share a new article, just out in Late Imperial China: 'Qing Diplomacy’s Scottish Face: Halliday Macartney, Yamen Culture, and Diplomatic Transformation in China’s London Legation, 1877-1905'.

Book cover for Three Impeachments: Guo Xiu and the Kangxi Court by R. Kent Guy. The design features the title in bold red text at the top, with the subtitle and author's name in black. A large, stylized Chinese character dominates the center of the cover against a minimalist light background. Red lines frame the outer edges for a clean and striking design.
R. Kent Guy's THREE IMPEACHMENTS is a rich and enticing probe into a key moment in late imperial Chinese history. Now available in print and #OpenAccess, made possible by a grant from the James P. Geiss and Margaret Y. Hsu Foundation. Learn more: uwapress.uw.edu/book/9780295...

Illustration depicting Mazu's miracle-filled birth as the sixth daughter of the Lin family. In the background, a curtain obscures a bed where we must assume her mother is laboring to give birth to her. A cloud emerges from this bed showing her father (?) kneeling before a deity. In the foreground, elders sit in a hall, waiting for Mazu to be born. Behind them, written on the wall, says "Nothing is better than accumulating virtue 莫如積德"

This is a fascinating sample of Manchu as actually spoken by native speakers. The lady is from a village in Heilongjiang (I presume Ilan Boo 三家子); the two interviewers are Sibe from Xinjiang.

There's a lot of criticism of Japanese TV media this morning because of its lack of live coverage of the events following a declaration of martial law in Korea. Many channels kept showing regularly scheduled programming.

I scanned up a copy of a 1939 Japanese guidebook for Shinkyō/Xinjing/Changchun from occupied Manchuria: 『新京案内』. Nice to browse alongside Bill Sewell's book "Constructing Empire: The Japanese in Changchun, 1905–45" https://archive.org/details/shinkyo-annai (tweet archive 2022)
