Abstract

This study focuses on the cultural aspect of early modern Busan by comparing two Japanese newspapers published in Busan area which were not addressed in precedent studies of the existing novel series, “The Chosen Jiho” and “The Fusan Nippo.”Contrastingly to most of the related researches that targets “Maeil Shinbo”published by the Japanese Government at that time (Korean newspaper) which is not damaged as much and is easy to decipher the articles, this study looks deeper into the Japanese newspapers in Busan area, “The Chosen Jiho” and “The Fusan Nippo” to examine the characteristics of Japanese serial novels in the 1910s and 20s. As a result, it became evident that all the writers of serial novels in “The Chosen Jiho”and “The Fusan Nippo”were Japanese who were students of Ozaki Koyo, a representative writer of pseudoclassical literature in the Meiji era whose fame gradually deceased from the literature mainstream. With the nostalgia for Japan embedded in their novels and lectures spread throughout early modern Busan that drove the colonial culture. The culture and sentiment of Japan are strongly expressed as serial novels and lectures in the “Novels” section advancing the spread and expansion of Japan culture in early modern Busan. In other words, through 1910s to 20s, Busan was actively engaged in modern material civilization from Japan while also was forced the emotions and culture of Japan which mediated through newspapers affecting the minds and ideologies of the people. This clearly represents the duality of the development of modern culture in Busan.
