The purpose of this article is to describe the interweaving of nationalism with sociological imagination in Japan by scrutinizing Fukuzawa Yukichi's discourses. Fukuzawa was the initial person who observed and described society using discourses on nationalism. Such agency was realized in the context of 19th century's globalization in which technologies of communication and transportation transformed the world drastically. By reconstituting Benedict Anderson's theory of nationalism from the perspective of technologies of communication and transportation, we will focus on the moment of technology in Fukuzawa's discourses. This investigation will reveal that Fukuzawa's sociological imagination was conditioned by the tension between constituent power and constituted power.
