高句麗 古墳壁畵 模寫圖의 현황과 일제강점기 자료의 검토

Abstract

Since the Koguryo mural tombs have been excavated academically in the early 20th century, a replica painting has been produced as one of the measures to record the discovered murals as it reconstructed the linework, the colors, and the interior condition of a stone chamber. This paper looked up the history and the current state of mural replicas of Koguryo since the Japanese colonial time period and then reexamined the painters and the dates of replicas as comparng the remaining materials regarding the Koguryo mural tombs. The Koguryo mural replicas started in 1912 when Oba Tsunekichi and Ota Fukujo made copies of wall paintings inside the Great Tomb at Kangso and the Middle Tomb at Kangso. Currently, they have been continuously produced in South Korea, North Korea, Japan, and China in various methods. As the paper investigated the production and the preservation as well as the usage of those replicas, in order to study those replicas as the academical and authentic research source, the production techniques and conditions must be recorded in details. As of the already existing replicas, we need to thoroughly examine the related materials to figure out the dates, the techniques, the expression of the deterioration, the painters, etc. Several tombs with different versions of replicas such as the Great Tomb and the Middle Tomb at Kangso and the Niche Spirit Tomb, and the Twin Pillars Tomb should be more carefully studied along with the remaining replicas and the replicas on the published catalogs as well as the written records of the replica production of the Japanese colonial government and the glass dry-plates of Koguryo murals and replicas
