This study examines 43 children’s books by contemporary foreign illustrators that contain Hanbok illustrations and analyzes them from postcolonial perspective. The results include the following three attributes: first, the transformation of clothing structure and donning method that confuse fundamentals of Korean costume; second, the Westernization of silhouette drawing with tailored garments analogous to Western dress; and third, extension to East Asian dress that represents Hanbok mixed with Chinese or Japanese costume and use what is considered to be the East Asian patterns instead of Korean traditional ones. These attributes are based on Eurocentrism, which expresses and interprets the East from the Western view point with continuously distorted image of the East. Korean illustrators also painted Hanbok incorrectly, which could influence foreign illustrators. Nevertheless, traditional dress illustrated in various ways has artistic value and has a popular global impression.

Park(2007)의 연구에 따르 고 있다. 면, 전통문화의 정체성은 유아기에 뿌리가 내리고 아 복식과 패션 분야에서 후기식민주의 관점을 적용 동전기인 5~9세 사이에 형성되기 시작하는데, 그림책 한 연구는 국외에서 1990년대의 유럽중심주의 패션 을 통한 전통문화 교육 활동은 국가 정체성의 형성을 비평을 시작으로 글로벌화, 불평등, 차별, 착취와 같 향상시킨다. 또한 그림책은 주변 세계와 이웃에 대한 은 이슈를 다루며 연구가 계속되고 있고(Jansen, 2020), 이해(Lee & Jang, 2011)와 다양한 문화를 접할 기회 국내에서는 Lee and Yim(2020)의 연구에서 패션산업 를 제공함으로써 어린이들이 폭넓은 견해로 세계를 바 의 문화 전유와 후기식민주의에 대한 분석이 이루어 라볼 수 있게 한다(Chae, Lee, & Kim, 2015). 즉, 그림 졌다. 외국인이 남긴 기록물에 나타난 한복을 분석한 책의 삽화는 어린이에게 지식을 전달하는 교육적인 선행연구로 Baek and Lee(1999), Kim, Lee, Kim, and 기능이 있을 뿐만 아니라, 자문화와 타문화의 이미지 Jeong(2010), Lee(2008)의 연구에서 근대 한국의 복식 를 형성하는 역할을 한다. 따라서 전통문화에 대한 올 을 고찰하였고, Kim(1996)과 Yi(2011)에 의해 복식과 바른 관점의 형성을 위해서는 아동도서에 나타난 전 근대성의 관계에 대한 연구가 이루어졌으며, 복식을 통문화를 그린 삽화의 정확도를 점검해야 한다. 최근 통하여 근대의 여성성을 분석한 연구가 전개되었다 국내외에는 외국인 작가가 우리의 전통문화 및 한복 (Kim, 2007; Kim & Lee, 2003; Park, 2014).

The Japanese Elite’s Perception of Foreign Countries in the 18th Century Synopsis: The study aims to focus on an 18th century intellectuals, Ueda Akinari, and examine his encounters with Joseon and foreign countries. Furthermore, to examine his recognition on his own country and foreign countries, including Joseon, through the “sun-god debate” that caused between the Motoori Norinaga. -1- The Japanese Elite’s Perception of Foreign Countries in the 18th Century Kyoung-Hee Kim* 1. Introduction Previous studies on the history of modern literature in Korea and Japan have focused on the history of exchange between Korea and China and the exchange between Japan and China; consequently, the relationship between Joseon and Japan has been neglected. Therefore, it is deemed necessary to examine the trend of international exchanges in East Asia by re-illuminating the influential relationship between Joseon and Japan in the study of early modern Japan. To this end, the present study aims to focus on an 18th century intellectual, Ueda Akinari (1734–1809), and examine his encounters with Joseon and foreign countries. Furthermore, this paper intends to examine his opinions on his own country and foreign countries, including Joseon, through the “sun-god debate” he participated in with Motoori Norinaga (1730–1801).

Summary The nominated documents, “Documents on Joseon Tongsinsa/Chosen Tsushinshi (Korean Embassies): The History of Peace Building and Cultural Exchanges between Korea and Japan from the 17th to 19th Century” comprises materials related to 12 diplomatic missions dispatched from Korea to Japan between 1607 and 1811 at the request of Japan’s Shogunate government. The missions contributed to restoring diplomatic relations between the two countries, which had been severed due to the invasion of Korea ordered by Toyotomi Hideyoshi (Japan’s ruler) in the late 16th century, and to maintaining peaceful relations. The nominated documents, which have been in custody in both countries, comprise diplomatic documents, travel records, and cultural exchange records, all of which testify to the importance of the missions in promoting reconciliation, mutual understanding, and interactions in the diplomatic, cultural, and industrial spheres. These cross-cultural exchanges were based on mutual respect and the principle of “sincerity and friendship.” The nominated documents exhibit wisdom in maintaining peaceful relations between two nations that had been at war.

  • Comparative Connections a Triannual E-Journal on East Asian Bilateral Relations
    Comparative Connections A Triannual E-Journal on East Asian Bilateral Relations Japan-Korea Relations: A Litigious Time of the Year David Kang, University of Southern California Jiun Bang, University of Southern California The overarching theme for the end of the year was litigation. The trial of Kato Tatsuya (former Seoul bureau chief for Sankei Shimbun) led to his acquittal for criminal libel. The trial of Park Yu-ha, a professor at Sejong University charged with defamation for her 2013 book Comfort Women of the Empire began in December, the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan (Chongryon) and its affiliates faced three separate lawsuits in Japan and South Korea, and a Korean was arrested and later indicted for his role in placing a bomb at Yasukuni Shrine. There were also competing interpretations of the international status of North Korean refugees in the case of contingencies. The much-awaited November Park-Abe summit was quickly tested by incidents that could easily strain relations. To the credit of Seoul and Tokyo, neither government let a single issue damage the relationship. In fact, the two ended up reaching an accord on “comfort women/sex slaves” at yearend. Despite immediate praise from the US, there was considerable frustration from both publics over the agreement. Sticky lawsuits Recall that the first mention of Sankei Shimbun’s former Seoul bureau chief, Kato Tatsuya, was back in the summer of 2014, when he was facing a defamation suit for an article that mentioned rumors of President Park Geun-hye engaging in a clandestine meeting during the seven-hour period in which she was unaccounted for on the day of the tragic sinking of the Sewol ferry in April 2014.
