 note = {In his political writings Okakura Tenshin used two different conceptions of Asia: a western European one and a Japanese one. Geaographically the European concept at the turn of the last century was surrealistic, meaning the immensely diverse region east of Europe itself, while culturally, economically,  milirtarily and politicallt it was seen as inferior to Eutope. Okakura's Japanese concept meatn renaming the old Sino-Japanese Buddhist concept of the Five Indies(Gorenjiku)as Asia. It placed India in the middle of the world,  giving a prominent place also for China, while smaller cultural entities, such as Japan, the southern islands, or Europe appeared in the periphery. The use of two very different conceotions under the same name give a dynamic dialectic on Okakura's argumentationm where he often outwardly appears to be using the European concept, while autually his thinking proceeded  along the Buddhist concept.},
