Through this, the purpose of this study is to analyze the mutual negotiating aspect between Busan and everyday life that has been omitted in the existing criticism on imperialism at multi-levels from the de-regional respective by having a new understanding of the region called ‘West Japan’ as space where social and economic relations of colony Joseon and imperial Japan with contradictions and conflicts inside.
