Yet contemporary scholars now seek to present a more dynamic picture of modern empires by exploring the metropole and colonies within a single analytic framework. Ishigaki Shincho's trajectory indeed questions how the conventional dichotomy of the colonizer/colonized of the Japanese empire. Born in the humble farmers' family, he still made career by moving across Taipei, Kaohsiung, and Tokyo, regardless of the metropole/colony divide.
