“Journey to Turkistan” by T. T. Teckman, translated by Ichiko Kamichika. Published in 1982 as a special edition of Iwanami Shinsho. (Original published in 1940) A record of the exploration of Turkistan (present-day Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region) in western China by the Englishman Teckman in 1935. The journey was made by car. It's an interesting read, allowing one to learn about the conditions and scenery of China's border regions at that time. By the way, the translator, Ichiko Kamichika, is known for the "Hikage-chaya Incident" in 1916. Due to a complicated love affair with the anarchist Sakae Osugi, Kamichika stabbed Osugi at the Hikage-chaya in Hayama, injuring him, and was arrested and imprisoned. …I only knew that, so I was surprised to learn that Kamichika later became a translator. Furthermore, she was also active as a member of the House of Representatives after the war. Such "Journey to Turkistan" is now out of print and difficult to obtain. Author: T. T.
