모리사키 가즈에의 전후 한국 인식 - 1968년 한국 방문을 중심으로 -

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to examine the postwar visit of Kazue Morisaki (1927-), who grew up in colonial Korea for 17 years, and his understanding of Korea. After diplomatic relations between Korea and Japan were normalized in 1965, civilian exchanges between the two countries began, and many Japanese visits to Korea were published. Most people regard colonial Korea as a nostalgic hometown by moving the unconsciousness of the colonists before 1945 to friendship after 1945. This is why we should pay attention to the story of visit to Korea after the Korea-Japan talks and the discussion of the colonial era. In 1968, Morisaki also visited Korea to attend the 30th anniversary of Gyeongju Middle School instead of his father, Kurazi Morisaki, who was a teacher in colonial Korea. Since then, she has been reflecting on her colonial experiences. In her visit, Morisaki talks not about the scenery and nostalgia of the past, but about contact with Koreans after 1945. This is to focus on the difficulties of Korea's post-war decolonization, anti-Communist and Cold War ideological issues, and the multilayered nature of colonial memory. In order to clarify the meaning of the description, the memories of Korean graduates of Kurazi Morisaki were compared with those published in Gyeongju Middle and High School's alumni journals and lists. Accordingly, Morisaki's literary activities revealed that her visit to Korea in 1968 and her description provided an opportunity to go beyond colonial experience to new recognition and discoveries of "foreign" existence. Encounters and contacts with "different" beings accused Japan of its closeness after the war, and deepened its absorption into the problems of Okinawa people, Koreans living in Japan, and women as minorities after the war.
