  • PICTORIAL POSTCARDS of a COLONIAL CITY: the "DREAM- WORK" of JAPANESE IMPERIAL- ISM Won Gi Jung
    Won Gi Jung 39 PICTORIAL POSTCARDS OF A COLONIAL CITY: THE "DREAM- WORK" OF JAPANESE IMPERIAL- ISM Won Gi Jung Introduction by Yumi Moon, Associate Professor of His- tory, Stanford University The Japanese empire produced many kinds of visual sources in governing its colonies. Won Gi Jung focuses on postcards of colonial Korea collected in the LUNA Archive of the University of Chicago, analyzing their pictorial narratives and the contexts in which they were made and consumed. Comparing Japan’s case with Western colonialism, Won Gi associates the fourishing postcard industry with the development of modern tourism in the Japanese metropole. He also accentuates Japan’s interest in using foreign tourism to present positive images of its empire to the world. For this reason it was the colonial state of Korea, rather than private studios, that produced the postcards, carefully curating the images of main tourist sites in Keijō (present-day Seoul) and elsewhere. Won Gi also discusses several publications by Western tourists who visited colonial Korea and offers a balanced commen- tary on the colonial state’s “dreamlike” representation of Keijō. Pictorial Postcards 40 Pictorial Postcards of a Colonial City: The "dreamwork" of Japanese Imperialism Won Gi Jung It’s because she found only one or two ‘Korean-made’ products… The [Australian] mistress wanted to purchase Joseon costume for female, but she couldn’t fnd any ready-made clothes. She said, “How come I cannot fnd even one pictorial postcard made by Koreans?”1 Blooming cherry blossom trees adorn the streets of spring- time Keijo.2 A Shinto shrine, dedicated to the Japanese sun-god- dess Amaterasu, stands with dignity at the center of the city.3 Street signs and brochures written in Japanese fll a crowded market- place.4 Tourists saw these landscapes in pictorial postcards sold at train stations, private studios, or near historical sites in colonial Korea.

Almost all are Japanese terms. The dictionary can be used in the ordinary way if the Shintō term you want to look up is already in Japanese (e.g. kami rather than ‘deity’) and has a main entry in the dictionary. If, as is very likely, the concept or word you want is in English such as ‘pollution’, ‘children’, ‘shrine’, etc., or perhaps a place-name like ‘Kyōto’ or ‘Akita’ which does not have a main entry, then consult the comprehensive Thematic Index of English and Japanese terms at the end of the Dictionary first.

The new emperor formally ascended to the Chrysanthemum throne, and the former one became emperor emeritus. However, when Japan shifted from Shōwa 昭和 to Heisei in 1989, it was because the Shōwa emperor had passed away, not as a result of an abdication as in 2019. For this reason, among others, in 2019 many Japanese seemed to welcome the change of era in a celebratory mood. For example, as the new imperial era “Reiwa” takes its name from ancient poetry, the region in which those poems were read for the first time became a frequent topic in conversations. Also, numerous worshippers paid visit to sanctuaries to receive the seal stamp commemorative of Reiwa’s first year. In other contexts, people often talked about the scarcity of heirs to Japan’s throne, and the possibility of a future empress was extensively debated. Any topic related to “the emperor” received wide media coverage, and interest on the subject increased throughout the country. In that Japanese culture revolves around the emperor’s figure, his presence is an element of the utmost importance in rituals, religion and culture.
