Lu Yishi (1913-) was a poet who devoted himself to literary activities from August 1942-1945 in Shanghai. This paper will concretely examine how Lu Yishi , in the area ruled by Wang Jingwei's regime which supported Japan, carried out his literary activities dealing with Japan as well as finding common ground with Japan. The first chapter demonstrates the interchange between Lu Yishi and Japanese writers in wartime Shanghai by examining the image of Lu Yishi depicted in the literary works or diaries of Ikeda Katumi, Takami Jyun, and Hotta Yoshie. The second chapter examines the situation when Lu Yishi attended the Third Meeting of the Great East Asian Writers held in Nanjing. Lu Yishi read a poem at the opening ceremony for the meeting and showed his respect for Wang Jingwei too; however, he published an essay in the newspaper minimizing the significance of this meeting. The third chapter examines the broader relationship between Lu Yishi and Japanese literature. The conclusion points out that, although Lu Yishi served as an official for Wang Jingwei's Nanjing government, he was markedly inactive in his job; though he did write political poems for Wang Jingwei's regime, he did not collect these poems in his books. In the conclusion, the author also demonstrates that despite such a harsh circumstance as that of occupied Shanghai, Lu Yishi cautiously wavered between resisting or cooperating with the Japanese and had to compromise with them a great deal, all the while pursuing his aesthetic ideals.
