コロンビア大学における アジア学の展開と角田柳作（５） ウィリアム・Ｔ・ド・バリー　コロンビア大学名誉教授（録画） Dr. Sachie Noguchi: Yes sir, you compiled an anthology of Japanese and Chinese classics, Sources of Japanese Tradition, with Tsunoda sensei. Do you have any specific memories of the compilation with the sensei? Professor de Bary: I have many memories, because actually, Sources of Japanese Tradition was only part of a series, a larger series, including China, India, Middle East and now Korea. So we are talking about Asia, but Tsunoda's background and his introduction to Japanese tradition, which included much of China and Buddhism, served as the model for all the others. OK? So we have completed the Japanese first. Tsudona actually did not have anything to do with the Chinese, that I did pretty much myself, with the collaboration of some other scholars, but he was not involved in that actual anthology, but he was involved in the sense that his own understanding of Asia and Japan served to provide a model for what would be useful readings for American students in Asian civilization. So as far as his presentation in classes concerned, he simply spoke to the terms, the issues that he had outlined on the black board beforehand so we could see what he was talking about, and we could see the books that we might study outside of class by leading scholars, Japanese scholars, not just of Japanese thought, but Chinese. For instance, I think I could learn more about Neo-Confucianism not only from sensei, but from a scholar like Inoue Tetsujiro who was a late-Meiji authority on, primarily, Japanese Neo-Confucianism, but he also had a very good knowledge of the Chinese and the Korean. You would not find any Chinese who had that kind of breadth. He was unique. So there were other scholars like that, Takeuchi Yoshio, whose son, Takeuchi Yoshinori, I knew very well and worked with. Yoshinori was primarily in Buddhism, but Takeuchi Yoshio was an authority on Chinese thought, on Confucianism as well [Chinese].
