G. POP TAȘCĂ was the Rector of the Academy of High Commercial and Industrial Studies between 1929 and 1931, the nowadays the Bucharest University of Economic Studies. His article about Japan published in the newspaper Albina Românească in 1900 is a condensed study, very well documented, regarding the most important data about the Land of the Rising Sun. The purpose of this study is to underline the way in which Japan was first understood by one of the most brilliant minds in Romania and the large public. From a methodological point of view, the paper follows the complexity of the economic and political analysis of the Romanian scholar, renowned for researching and promoting capitalism and cooperative system in Romania through documentation from the specialized bibliography referring to Japan. Using classical research, analysis and synthesis tools, this paper aims to radiograph the author's opinion on Japan during the Meiji period. The main result of this study is the rediscovering of the considerations about Japan, after First SinoJapanese War (1894-1895) and in the Period of Meiji Restoration, offered to the Romanian readers by one of the most prominent intellectual of that time.
