『일본영이기日本靈異記』의 「術」을 통해 본 고대 한일교류

Abstract

This paper compares and examines the notation “jutsu” that appears in the narratives recorded in “Nihon Ryouiki” with the descriptions in various literatures of the ancient times such as “Nihon Shoki” and “Manyoshu”, and traces of ancient Korea-Japan exchanges. Examining the record of “jutsu” in “Nihon Shoki”, only the description related to Baekje and Goguryeo, that is, the Korean Peninsula, was used to mean “mysterious power beyond human knowledge.” Also, in the case of “Manyoshu”, it seems that it was introduced to Japan by a naturalized person from Baekje named Kitta Yoshida. In “Nihon Ryouiki”, as in the examples of “Nihon Shoki” and “Manyoshu”, when “jutsu” is used to mean “mysterious power beyond human knowledge”, it is limited to continental spells and spells without omission, as in the case of the Zyokan episode 28 and the Gekan episode 38. The same was true for “Sankokuizi”. In other words, until the beginning of the 9th century, when “Nihon Ryouiki” was established, if “jutsu” was used in Japanese records, it would have been transmitted to Japan due to the mysterious power of the Korean Peninsula or via the Korean Peninsula. It seems that only the Chinese (Taoist) mysterious power used the word “jutsu”. This is thought to be a good representation of the exchange and culture of Korea and Japan at that time.
