The development of night tourism is one of the crucial means to enrich and prosper the night-time economy. Recently, as a popular topic of sustainable development, night tourism has received extensive attention. However, little attention has been paid to night tourism, especially from the emotional perspective of tourists. Furthermore, discussions on how and why tourists become interested in night tourism are still lacking. To fill the research gap, based on the theory of experience economy, we used the concept of lovemarks to explore the influence of tourists’ tourism experience and lovemarks on their brand satisfaction and brand loyalty. A self-administered questionnaire was completed by 487 tourists of “Cultural Heritage Night”, a night tourism brand in South Korea. The results indicate that tourists’ entertainment and educational experience significantly influence their lovemarks (both of brand love and respect), and esthetic experience only significantly influences brand respect.

Akademika Lavrentieva 17, Novosibirsk, 630090, Russia E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Cultural Interaction Patterns in the Bronze Age: Ritual Bronze Artifacts from Korea and Japan This study focuses on ritual bronze items that are very informative for reconstructing cultural ties and migrations between Korea and Japan from 400 BC to 300 AD. Their large-scale introduction to Korea is related to the culture of Korean-type daggers, whose distribution center was located in northwestern Korea. We give a detailed description of Bronze Age artifacts, including weapons and ritual items from that area. These occur mostly in single burials of complex construction, possibly attesting to high social status. In Japan, Korean-type artifacts fi rst appear in northern Kyushu during the Yayoi age, in burials with wooden coffi ns and urns. The analysis of molds for casting narrow-bladed daggers, socketed spearheads, and picks suggests that Korean-type items spread from northern Kyushu. Late Yayoi ritual bronze artifacts include mostly mirrors of the Han type, evidently indicating migrations from the mainland. Keywords: Ritual bronze items, Bronze Age, Korea, Japan, cultural interaction. Introduction culture of Korean-type daggers (4th–1st centuries BC) (Lee Chong-gyu, 2007: 120–124).

  • The Jinin of the Sea
    Journal of Marine and Island Cultures, v9n1 — Kim Saviors who come from the Sea and Earth: e Jinin (眞⼈) of Korea and Miroku (ミロク) of Japan Sung-Soon Kim Center for Religious Studies, Seoul National University, Korea [email protected] Publication Information: Received 23 April 2020, Accepted 1 May 2020, Available online 29 June 2020 DOI: 10.21463/jmic.2020.09.1.06 Abstract This article attempts a historical comparative study between the Maitreya faith in early modern Korea and the Mirokukami faith in the Okinawa and Kashimi area of Japan. In Buddhist teachings, Maitreya is a savior figure who will descend to earth 5,670,000,000 years after Buddha Śākyamuni’s ascent to nirvana. In the East Asian Buddhist sphere, believers facing what they believed to be the end of the world endowed Maitreya with the image of a political leader and earthly savior. Stone statues of Maitreya stuck in the earth became idols of worship by common people. In contrast, Maitreya of the sea emerged as the image of a political leader who could overthrow the king. In the areas of Okinawa and Kashimi, Maitreya of the ocean appeared in the form of Mirokukami. Mirokukami rode a divine ship and brought Mirokunoyo (meaning good harvest) to the people. In the Ryukyu Islands, Hotei—as an embodiment of Maitreya—fulfilled the role of Mirokukami and combined elements of the ocean paradise Nirai Kanai, indigenous harvest deities, and Maitreya belief. For island villagers, a plentiful rice harvest was equated with salvation, and therefore they held village festivals meant to call up Maitreya’s ship from a paradise far out at sea.

  • Korean TV Dramas and the Selling of Place by Youjeong
    Spectacular Cities, Speculative Storytelling: Korean TV Dramas and the Selling of Place By Youjeong Oh A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geography in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor You-tien Hsing, Chair Professor Richard A. Walker Professor Barrie Thorne Professor Paul E. Groth Fall 2013 Abstract Spectacular Cities, Speculative Storytelling: Korean TV Dramas and the Selling of Place By Youjeong Oh Doctor of Philosophy in Geography University of California, Berkeley Professor You-tien Hsing, Chair This dissertation examines the relationships between popular culture, cities, and gendered social discourses, with a focus on contemporary Korean television dramas. Existing studies about Korean dramas have relied upon economic and cultural analysis to, in effect, celebrate their vibrant export to overseas markets and identify why they are popular in other East Asian countries. This study expands the scope into spatial and social realms by examining cities’ drama-sponsorship and drama-driven social activities. Deploying popular culture as an analytical category directly shaping and transforming material, urban and social conditions, I argue that the cultural industry of Korean television dramas not only functions as its own, dynamic economic sector, but also constitutes urban processes and social discourses of contemporary South Korea. Drawing upon interdisciplinary methods including ethnography and content analysis, I examine Korean television dramas from the multiple vantage points of producers, audience, storytelling, and city-sponsorship, and elucidate why and how these four arenas are deeply intertwined. Their mutual entanglement, in turn, requires us to see Korean television dramas as more than just commercial entertainment; they become a medium through which we can contemplate labor conditions in the cultural industry, the political economies of development in regional cities, and gender politics in Korea.
