    ■ Source: “Miyazaki Tōten to Shingai kakumei” 宮崎滔天と辛亥革命 (Miyazaki Tōten and the 1911 Revolution), Fukuoka Unesco 福岡ユネスコ 48 (October 2012), 1–11. Miyazaki Tōten and the 1911 Revolution My name is Joshua Fogel, and I teach East Asian history, in particular the his- tory of Sino-Japanese relations, at York University in Toronto, Canada. Let me begin by thanking the organizers of this symposium for inviting me and allowing me to offer some thoughts at this forum. I have another reason to be thankful for this invitation to Fukuoka which I shall mention at the end of my talk today. Many people, especially those living in warm climates like Fukuoka, believe that because Canada is so far north, it is always freezing cold. In the winter, yes, Canada can be very cold, but Canada is a big place—in fact, it’s the second largest country in the world. East of the Rocky Mountains, Toronto has one of the nicer climates—much milder than nearby Buffalo, New York or even Detroit, Michigan. Please come visit us some time. My topic today concerns the role of several Japanese in the 1911 Revolution in China. This is not an unknown topic. Scholars have actually worked on it a great deal—in Japan, China, North America, and even Europe. In fact, the cen- tral role played by certain Japanese supporters of Sun Yat-sen has provided an important bridge for Chinese and Japanese scholars as well as ordinary citizens to find common ground. My talk today is not aimed at offering a new interpre- tation or revealing some new documents on this topic of Japan’s role in the 1911 Revolution.
