Abstract

The article is devoted to a group of Japanese Orthodox intellectuals, who at the end of the nineteenth century were sent to study at the Kiev Theological Academy. They are Mii Michirō (in the baptism Simeon, 1858–1940), Konishi Masutarō (Daniel, 1862–1940), Nameda Yoshio (Clement, 1895), Kawamoto Kakusaburō (Ivan, 1868–1945), and Saikaishi Shizuka (Mark, 1868– 1939). Their study in Kiev falls for the period from 1883 to 1895. The paper considers Japanese graduates of Kiev Theological Academy as a separate group of intellectuals and as part of the Japanese Christian community. Their intellectual activity primarily took place in the field of education – both spiritual and secular (teaching, developing textbooks and manuals). They also wrote articles in religious and secular journals, worked in editorial boards of Orthodox media; they also wrote books, namely, theological works, memoirs, travel notes, etc., translated religious and fiction, mainly from the Russian language. In this group there are representatives of different types: namely, Symeon Mii is a church intellectual, Kavamoto, who later changed the surname to Senuma, and Saikaishi are laymen closely connected with the Church, while Konishi represents a kind of a secular intellectual and a “heretic” in his relation to the Church. The second part of the article focuses on the life and work of Ivan Kawamoto-Senuma and Clement Nameda.
