일제식민지기 경성부 신사-신사 및 제신의 시기별 성격을 중심으로

Abstract

In Keijyo(Seoul), from the construction of the grand shrine at Nam Mountain, which was built to serve Amateras at 1898 of the period of the Korean Empire, Japanese shinto shrines were constructed whenever Japanese residents in Keijyo expanded Japanese habitation. In other words, from the grand shrine of Nam Mountain at 1898 to Keijyo national patriotic shrine at 1943, total 29 Japanese shinto shrines were built in Keijyo, specifically in Jung‒gu, Yongsan‒gu, Dongdaemun‒gu, Yeongdeungpo‒gu and Dongjak‒gu. And these shinto shrines show time‒variant characteristics by the Japanese Government‒General of Korea’s policy on shinto shrines. Korean previous studies on Japanese shinto shrines in Keijyo have focused on only Joseon Shrine, while the researches on rest shinto shrines in Keijyo are rare. On the other hand, in Japanese previous studies, there are several researches related to kinds and gods of Japanese shinto shrines in Joseon including Keijyo; but, these have a limit to identify what kinds of Japanese shinto shrines in Keijyo were built and what kinds of gods were served depend‒ing on the change of the policy on shinto shrines because these studies generalized all of Japanese shinto shrines in Joseon and their gods without considering the change of the policy on shinto shrines. Gods of Japanese shinto shrines reflect the life of people in the region where they are served, and especially, gods of Japanese shinto shrines in colonized Joseon are closely related to religious colonization. In other words, Japanese shinto shrines in colonized Joseon were used for religious colonization of Joseon, as a representative institution of State Shinto which forced visiting Japanese shinto shrines and as a religious institution which helped Japanese residents to settle down in Joseon through implantation of motherland’s popular religion. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to consider time‒variant kinds and gods of Japanese shinto shrines in Keijyo; and the reason why I choose Japanese shinto shrines in Keijyo as a subject of this research is that they were most strongly influenced by the Japanese Government‒General of Korea’s policy on shinto shrines. Finally, this paper might be important in understanding cultural topography of Japanese shinto shrines in Keijyo and their gods and the relationship between Japanese Government‒General of Korea’s religious colonization and Japanese shinto shrines, and might be helpful for identifying Japanese shinto shrines and their gods that were used for religious colonization of Joseon.
