근세 일본 사츠마 번에서 조선어통사의 존재의미

Abstract

Korean interpreters of modern Japan has a record of existing in five places of Nagato-han, Satuma-han, Koto-han, and Ryukyu-han as well as Tusima-han. Except as Tusima-han which was placed in an special situation in the relationship with the Joseon Dynasty, most of them were involved in the frequent repatriation of settlers and refugees and temporary existences. Among them, the settlement of Koreans in Tusima-han was only 31 cases for 274 years. Nevertheless, there were Korean interpreters of Tusima-han under the han-level system from 17th to 19th century and they were systematically trained through theinter pretert raining system. There were Chinese interpreters and English interpreters with Korean interpreters in Tusima-han. Chinese interpreters and English interpreters were trained receiving enormous support from Tusima-han. But unlike them, Korean interpreters hardly received support from Tusima-han and the reason for the existence and its position were not clear. The Korean interpreters came into being spontaneously byself-help efforts as the persons from Naesirogawa village that Tusima-han interned Korean settlers. Nevertheless, Tusima-han acknowledged them as Korean interpreters for a long time be cause they were the means that proved communication with the outside world with Chinese interpreters and English interpreters in the Japaneses ituation called national isolation and to show off its authority domestically. Korean interpreters of Tusima-han were characterised by being from the persons in Korean villages and certain families’pedigrees. They were given 'Gousi' status that is native gentry like Japanese interpreters. Korean interpreters were the only way that Koreans could be Gousi. They served as managers of Tusima-han and it was also the expedient to maintain status. And they seized political power in the village by using their status that they can directly exchange with Tusima-han. And they got to seize the right to educate Korean in the village as they got permission to train disciples by requesting Tusima-han to do them. In addition, they achieved an economic power by obtaining the right to sell ceramics. Korean interpreters are away to be native gentry in Japanese society in Tusima-han and means to be able to enjoy them as power in the village.
