제3기 『普通學校國語讀本』을 통해 본 색의(色衣)장려

Abstract

In this research, I will consider mainly the illustrations recorded in textbooks about the color competition encouragement movement that I tried at an elementary school where colonized Korean children attended in the Japanese empire era. It is said that having the education to encourage color clothing in the textbooks of elementary schools where the governor general is the public education institution has a totally different meaning from the workshops and the like held for general adults. In a nutshell, the empire's subjectiveization education of the Japanese empire was to abandon the colonial Korea's identity and make it Japan. Both colonial Koreans and their intention to highlight the shortcomings and to ensure the justification of unjust governance are inherent. It also assimilates colonial children through the cherry blossoms symbolizing the Japanese Empire and the chrysanthemum symbolizing the Emperor. In the textbook before the revision of the textbook, the flags fluttered, but after the revision all changed to Hinomaru. In order to make colonial children recognize the meanings represented by cherry blossoms, chrysanthemums, and hinomaru, the Japanese empire intentionally put in color inserts. In this way, it was confirmed that the items of the era at that time were reflected as it was in the illustrations which colonial Koreans learned. In the end, the Japanese empire was able to confirm the fact that the textbook was amended and compiled in order to encourage colored clothing wearing college Korean children through school textbooks.
