1920-1930년대 일본어 자료에 나타난 조선궁술(朝鮮弓術)표상

Abstract

This article focused on the Korean archery data in colonial Korea, and focused on the data on Korean archery, especially from Japanese point of view. Through such materials, Japan sees Korean archery as a game, the reason being that existence of Gisaeng as well as performing archery. Therefore, the view that Japanese archery as a martial art focusing on mind training and Korean archery as a game was established, and both were seen as superiority relationship. However, I can not affirm that the existence of Gisaeng leads to play. Gisaeng in Korean archery may be part of the archery style, and there were a lot of Gisaeng who officially learned archery and shoot the bow. However, the appearance seen from Kyudo and the memories of YO-KYU made the presence of Gisaeng leading to play.
