Abstract

This study is to try to search the life and press activities of The President of Fusan Nippo Company(釜山日報社), Akutagawa Tadashi(芥川正) who published a Japanese newspaper 『The Fusan Nippo(釜山日報)』 during the time of the Japanese colonization in Busan. Akutagawa participated in the Japanese killer groups such as the Kumamoto National Right Party(熊本國權黨) and the Liberal Party(自由黨) from 1880's. After the Sino-Japanese War, he advanced to Joseon first as the war correspondent and he actively cooperated in colonization of the Joseon Dynasty under the banner of ‘patriotism by the sentence(文章報國)’. After that, Akutagawa who settled in Busan the gateway to the continent devote himself to the『The Fusan Nippo』 company publications And he insisted on the execution of the special autonomous system and the regional development mainly with Japanese. The reason why Akutagawa succeeded as the journalist in Busan is his connections which conspired with the large company of Busan. Economic doyens of Busan, Oike Chusuke(大池忠助), Kashi Kentaro(香椎源太郞), Hazama Husataro(迫間房太郞), Hukunaga Masajiro(福永政治郞) were 『The Fusan Nippo』 company's large stockholders and funeral commissioners, and represented friends after he died. Also after they died, they handed over the executive of and the large stockholders of 『The Fusan Nippo』 company to the sons. This shows the solidity of the relationship between them with 『The Fusan Nippo』 company. Such as ‘the electricity municipalization movement(電氣府營化運動)’ in Busan in 1920's 『The Fusan Nippo』 company supported the interests of the large company of Busan against the small business. The press activities of Akutagawa was the practices of the patriotism by the sentence(文章報國), that is, the nationalism. The discrimination of Japanese and Korean and the support of the monopolistic interest of Japanese show the colonialism, the regionalism in a sence of the support of region' interest. This means the agglutination of the management and mammoth capitalist of region.
