COMPILATION AND PUBLICATION OF KOREAN HISTORICAL MATERIALS UNDER JAPANESE RULE (1910-1945)

KYONG-RAK CHOI

The years 1 910-1945, during which - the Japanese-controlled So~tokufu (Government

General) dominated the Korean political scene, are commonly imagined as uniformly tragic and ruinous years for the Korean people. Little attention has so far been given to

the positive accomplishments in the realm of historical scholarship made by both Japanese

and Korean scholars during this period. Some idea of the scope of the compilation and

republication activities undertaken during the years of Japanese occupation will be had

from a review of the list enumerated below, although the tremendous significance for

Korean culture of the works actually rescued from the process of decay and disintegration

will not easily be grasped by someone unfamiliar with works themselves. To correct this

deficiency, I have appended to each heading in the list a brief description of the contents

In addition, there are summarized below the great names in the field of Korean cultural

studies whose efforts we see crystallized in the bibliographical output that is the main

subject of this paper. That many Japanese scholars have earned a place among the guardians of Korea's cultural tradition is something that ought not to be for otten when

we Koreans look back upon our colonial past g

I

Japan and Korea responded completely differently to the encroachment into Asia of

European and American influence during the second half of the 19th century. Under the

influence of such prominent Westernizers as Yukichi Fukuzawa, Meiji Japan turned her

back upon her Asian past and set about the construction of a modern nation-state. Yi

Chosen, by contrast, clung to her outdated political structure and pretended to ignore the

menacing developments in Europe and Japan ; if anything, the worst aspects of the old

system were allowed to fiourish, and palace intrigues and plots multiplied by the hour.

The logical consequence of this growing disparity between Japan and Korea was a rapid

evaporation of the sense of cultural unity that had previously brought the two nations

close together. As Japan came to view herself more and more a Western-type nation, her

sense of distance frorn the still very Asian situation in Korea inevitably increased. But it

was not until after her successive triumphs in the Sino-Japanese and Russo-Japanese wars

(189~~1895, and 1904-1905) that Japan found herself in a position to enforce on a real-

political level the international attitudes to which she felt her rapid and successful political

transformation entitled her.

In the case of Korea, these attitudes found expression in the modified foun of Euro-

pean colonialist policy which Japan attempted to impose upon the Korean people. During

the first years of the occupation, from 1910-1919, the Japanese military were responsible

for the new colony. Frorn shortly after the outbreak of the China War until the end of

Japan's Pacific Empire (1937-1945) on the other hand, an attempt was made to integrate

Korea completely into the Japanese economic order, and a policy of assi:nilation was

pursued. But in the critical years 1919-1938, the Japanese government adopted a some-

what Inore lenient attitude, and, in keeping with the so-called " Korean Cultural Policy,"

gave its approval to the efforts of both Japanese and Korean scholars to collect and
