한일 근대 신도(神道)사상 비교 ‒신도의 출현배경과 목적을 중심으로‒

Abstract

The first comparison point is about absolute existence in relation to the structural system of Shinto. In the modern Shinto thought of Korea and Japan, the aspect related to the highest god appears in the same way. The modern Shinto of Japan is formed by the idea that the emperor is at the top, and the modern Shinto of Korea is the Shinto idea that in relation to Kang Jeungsan. In Japanese Shinto, it can be seen that the mythical existence of Amaterasu is transformed to the emperor into the supreme deity in response to the modern emperor. On the other hand, In Korean Shinto, The Supreme God are supposed to have descended into the human world by the appeal of the sacred, Buddha, and Bodhisattva from Ninth heaven. Second, we look at the background of the emergence of Shinto in modern Japan and South Korea. The background to the emergence of modern Shinto in Japan is that by the increased influence of foreigners on Japan a new order was built around the emperor. The background of the emergence of modern Korean Shinto thought is to restore the Shinto in order to save the world, and build the ideal world at the cosmic level. The third is process by which Shinto is established in Japan and South Korea. In modern Japanese Shinto is established by the royal government restoration grand order which was distributed in December 1867. On the contrary Korea’s modern Shinto is built by people’s religious movement by Choi Jewoo and Kang Jeungsan. Fourth, the purpose of modern Shinto in Japan is to integrate the nations centered on the emperor to achieve wealthy soldiers. For Korea, the purpose of modern Shinto is to build the ideal world of the future.
