グンサンノルブによる日本陸軍軍人招聘―伊藤柳太郎が招聘された経緯と背景―

抄録

This paper discusses the case that a Japanese soldier, Ryutaro Ito, was invited as an instructor in the Töb-i Sakikü Tangkim school established by a noble of Kharchin Mongol's Right Banner, Güngsangnorbu. I then examined the circumstances and the historical background of this case, using materials of the National Institute for Defense Studies Library and the Japan Center for Asian Historical Records, Japanese newspaper articles and the Mongolian newspaper Mongγol-un sonin bičig, which had been published in Harbin. The schools founded by Güngsangnorbu had been discussed by many scholars from the viewpoints of Japanese intelligence activities and the domestic development of the Kharchin Mongol's Right Banner. Previous researchers evaluated founding schools in Kharchin Mongol as a modernization policy of Güngsangnorbu. However, in this paper I concluded that it had been carried out under a strategy of the Japanese Army. In addition, the Japanese Army was developing intelligence activities in Mongolia on the eve of Russo- Japanese War. This paper pointed out that Ryutaro Ito was dispatched for the military purposes of the Japanese Army against Russia.
