Open port area(開港場) was a symbolic place to realize the various boundaries of domestic and foreign destinations, among them the borders of modern meaning. Many Koreans of the present age crossed the boundary between Nationality called Korea and the empire of Japan through the location like Open port area and formed their own identity. In this context, we examined aspects of literary reproduction and the meaning contained in it, especially in the colonial period, centering on Incheon, where it was created to experience contact with domestic and foreign boundaries. With the advent of the Japanese settlement and the amusement park named Wallmido, Incheon gained fame as a summer resort where people gather in various places nearby Seoul, but there is also a negative element in Incheon’s image change. The Wallmido became a place symbolizing the light joy of the Gold Rush period all night. It is the Mitsukyuin element that represents the image of Tsukishima and Incheon. The existence of Mitsuwin cattle established by speculative intentions that Japanese merchants are trying to grab the leadership of grain trading and use the price of grain together to earn a profit is to put incheon into the devil’s cave. It was an important opportunity to make it represent. To comprehensively consider the entity that lives in the border area Incheon and how the presence representing the place depicted his own psychological topographical map of the place and created several cultures Is an important context for understanding the identity of the place called Incheon.
