This series of books, exploring the century-long pursuit of a constitutional dream and the complex relationship between Japan and China--a relationship marked by both rivalry and friendship--aims to delve into the deep-seated contradictions in East Asia's current situation. It seeks to answer the lingering questions of today's East Asian landscape by tracing historical origins. Based on the latest academic research, the series focuses on how Japan, China, and South Korea have repeatedly oscillated between conflict and reconciliation, presenting "how East Asia became what it is today." Understanding modern Sino-Japanese relations requires examining not only diplomatic clashes and wars, but also the profound transformation within China since the late Qing Dynasty--from a monarchy to a republic. Therefore, the entire series is centered around the theme of "constitutionalism."
