- Abstract
Germany was the most influential model for modern Japanese politics since the forced opening of the country. The article illustrates this by way of the example of Sakuzo Yoshino (1878-1933) and Shinkichi Uesugi (1878-1929), two professors at the Imperial University of Tokyo who were simultaneously important commentators on public affairs. Both had studied in Heidelberg, but perceived German politics in very different ways: while Yoshino decidedly rejected the German Son- d^erweg and was positively disposed towards Anglo-Saxon democracy, Uesugi defended the political role of the Japanese Emperor precisely because of his German experiences. The article tries to find explanations as to why and how Yoshino and Uesugi reached such diametrically opposed views.
