시미즈 효조[清水兵三]의 조선 민요설화론에 대한 고찰

Abstract

In recent years, studies on Korean folklore document published in Japanese in the modern early days have been made. I was affected by this and tried to make bibliography while taking previous studies into account. Previous studies were made mainly on books. However I think the documents such as newspapers and magazines must be checked up together from now on and therefore Hyozo Shimizu(1890-1965) is very important person in this study. Shimizu left many achievements while his publication on Korean folktale has not been found. He deepened exchange with Toshio Takagi, Kunio Yanagita and Kumagusu Minakata, who were the representative Japanese folklorists at that period. According to my bibliography research, Shimizu published many articles on the theory of folk music and folk tale mainly in the 1920s. The important point is that Shimizu’s theory was greatly influenced by Son Jintae. Shimizu was proficient in Korean and established his theory through Son Jintae’s Japanese paper and also Korean paper. The reinterpretation of stature of Son Jintae is required. Shimizu’s theory was more focused on universal folktales than Korean unique ones. On the other hand, Yanagita analyzed Shimizu’s theory and clarified his character.　In this study I picked up two folktales, ‘Mushimchul (a wife divorced on the bridal night for breaking wind)’and ‘a tiger and a dried persimmon’, and researched on his theory.
