식민지 시기 차(茶)의 문화접변

Abstract

This article analyzes the realities of acculturation in Colonial Korean under the Japanese rule, focusing primarily on the green tea. The result was as follows. First, in the late Chosun dynasty era, did tea culture start spreading out of the inactive old stereotypical balance to introduce the new wave of tea culture since the port opening. Since the Korea was amalgamated by Japan, with the influx of Japanese people, new foreign tea types were brought in along with the new cultures and even Korea started cultivating those tea crops to adopt new things. Very few at first though, as the more people gradually started drinking teas, the foreign tea culture was gradually being adopted in Chosun. However, as Japanese tried to spread the Japanese teaism among Chosun people widely, the Chosun people were opposing to it's formulas such as sitting posture, architectures and costumes. Meanwhile, since teaism was already existing culture in Chosun, very smooth acculturation was expected in the first place. However, the actual acculturation wasn't in Chosun people's necessity and with the expansion of Japanese imperialism in Chosun, teaism was being spread and adopted by Chosun people in the begrudging manner. The tea culture was accepted by some Chosun people though, as the tea acculturation was being exploited and forced by means of Japan Imperialism enhancement, some Chosun people were showing resistant attitude towards it, not that directly though.
