During the period of Japanese rule, the Japanese literary circle had produced a treasure of fiction or non-fiction works in an effort to depict colonies of the empire. With an aim to research the notion of nanbo (Japanese term of "southern territories") as a fabric of colonial perspective, this paper will look into how "colonies" under Japanese rule were represented in various forms of literary works, including novels and travelogues. We shall deconstruct the reference and symbols of colonies in those works against the context of the nanshin ("southward expansion") theories and riban ("aboriginal management") policies, through which we shall explore the development of symols and ideas with a nanbo theme, the cultural and imperialist undertones in the literary topography, and the interwork of politics and ideologies. This will put in focus not only the imperialist influence in Japanese writers in the process of cultural translation, but how colonial modernism had played out in this historical context of plan-driven social changes as the rulers and the ruled were both portrayed in literature as parties having similar or different political and social agenda.
