식민지 조선으로의 신사신도(神社神道)의 유입에 관한 일고찰

Abstract

Japanese Shinto shrines introduced to Korea were various in character and rank, ranging from those built by Japanese residents in Korea based on their folk religions to those, which ancestors of Japanese emperor were venerated, such as Kampeisha (Imperial shrines) and Kokuheisha (National shrines). The period of diffusion of shinto shrines also should be classified. Therefore, this study attempts to examine the diffusion of Shinto shrines in Korea over three periods: i) the pre‒annexation period (up to 1910), ii) the period of placing Shinto shrines built by Japanese residents in Korea under official and public control and establishing facilities for national veneration ceremony (1911‒1929), and iii) the Japanization period (1930‒1942). Using statistics related to founding year and location of Shinto shrines as presented in the statistical yearbooks published by the Japanese Government‒General of Korea, this study will examine how Shinto shrines had spreaded into various regions of Korea over the three periods. In addition, documents related to shrines in various regions of Korea will be used to help interpretation of the quantitative information. The time scope of analysis covers from 1678 to 1942, the year when the last statistical yearbook was published. Regional range follows the classification in the statistical yearbook: Gyeonggi‒do, Gangwon‒do, Chungcheong‒bukdo and Chungcheong‒namdo, Jeolla‒bukdo and Jeolla‒bukdo‒namdo, Gyeongsang‒bukdo and Gyeongsang‒namdo, Hwanghae‒do, Pyongan‒bukdo and Pyongan‒namdo, and Hamgyong‒bukdo and Hamgyong‒namdo.
