This dissertation examines the evolving official conceptualizations of the sea in Japan, as well as the oft-neglected role of the Japanese empire in the malleable global maritime order during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Borrowing from the historiographies of cartography and international law, its five chapters analyze the Western and Japanese nautical surveys in East Asian waters during the mid-nineteenth century, the Anglo-Japanese legal dispute on the sovereignty of the Seto Inland Sea during the 1890s, the Sino-Japanese fishery controversy off the Liaodong Peninsula around the 1910s, the Japanese government's shifting policies towards the three-mile principle at the turn of the twentieth century, and the construction of a Japanese maritime lifeline in the Pacific Ocean during the 1930s. I argue that the Government of Imperial Japan evolved from a critical observer, who applied, revised, and sometimes rejected Western legal norms to expand its maritime influence, to an audacious architect of empire, who attempted to establish a new global oceanic order favoring Japanese interests by invoking the language of mare liberum and national security. Despite the changing conditions of nations and empires, there were two persistent features of Japanese maritime policies during the turbulent late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. One was the continuing perception of the seas as defensive perimeters against "treacherous Westerners," which constituted a driving force for the Japanese authorities to expand their maritime capacities militarily and judicially. The other was to portray the application of the three-mile principle to territorial waters as a standard practice of a "civilized" nation. The term "civilized," however, underwent a dramatic change in its meaning. When the Meiji government struggled for full sovereignty in the late nineteenth century, it denoted an independent country with exclusive control over its coastal waters. During the early twentieth century, as the Japanese authorities used the three-mile principle to justify their rapid expansion into the high seas and foreign offshore waters, "civilized" came to mean an enlightened empire promoting the principle of mare liberum.
