The article discusses issues such as literary relations and literary influence between Japan and France that began and intensified in the nineteenth century. First, the scope of works that embodied the impressions, opinions, and life experiences of Japanese writers who visited France will be revealed. In the process of uncovering this issue, the main focus will be on the works of such writers and poets as Nagai Kafu, Yosano Akiko and Yoshie Takamatsu. Attention is then paid to the field of translation, which has become important in the development of relations between the two countries, and examples of French literature translated into Japanese will be analyzed in relation to the works of their authors.
