일본 시코쿠 순례 속의 한국문화

Abstract

This study examined the relationship between pilgrimage of 88 Shikoku holy site and Korea. The relationship can be largely summarized into 3 points. First, the relationship between founder Gong Hae and Korean peninsula. His paternal line is the Saekis who immigrated from Silla, and maternal line is the Ados who immigrated from Baekje. Also, Geunjo who was his teacher during Buddhist priesthood asceticism was from the Hatas of Silla-Gaya, and another teacher Gyeongjoon was descendant of the Hujis of Baekjae immigrants. And his spiritual master who was his model of asceticism, Haenggi was born between the Gosis of Baekje and the Hachidas. Besides, he once studied with Silla monk Hyeil, and he kept very close relationship with Sill monks so that Silla monks came to Japan twice to meet him. Likewise, from his birth to asceticism, he was in close relationship with Korean monks. Second, the relationship between 88 holy sites and Korean peninsula. Chwibongsa temple(no.36) and Geumchangsa temple(no.76) which is related to Wonjin serves Silla god, and Jonggansa temple(no.34) and Daebisa temple(no.44) enshrined Buddhist statue sculpted by Baekje sculptor or monk. Furthermore, there are 33 sites that are built by ore related to Japanese monk of Baekje line, and moreover, there are 7 holy sites which possess Joseon Buddhist paintings and Buddhist temple bell which are likely to be taken during the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592. Third, the relationship between Shikoku pilgrimage and Korea lasted during modern era. For example, during the Japanese colonial era, Japanese constructed downscale replica of 88 holy site of Shikoku pilgrimage trail in Busan, Masan, Mokpo. Incheon, Hambuk Gyeongseong, and Hambuk Cheongjin, and it was Korean woman who was the first foreigner to be qualified as chief Buddhist monk of holy site temple. Likewise, Korea is closely related to Shikoku 88 holy site pilgrimage in various ways. Considering this, the attitude of Japanese who discriminate against Korea and show anti-Korean attitude regarding Shikoku pilgrimage cannot be justified.
