일본 고전으로 본 권력과 여성 핍박

Abstract

Through classical literature until the Middle Ages in Japan, we looked at the perceptions of women in Japanese society at that time and the damage inflicted on women by various authority. Recently, attention has been focused on sexual violence by state power, and it has become a difficult issue to solve, especially between Korea and Japan, which has been recognized as prominent since modern times. However, as we can see from this study, there were similar problems in the past, although there were differences in type and degree. For example, the former japanese historical facts that women have been subject to exploitation on battlefield are irrelevant to the topic for future generations of Japanese military sexual slavery. In addition, in terms of imperial power and women's affairs, the Japanese emperor privatized women and regarded them as object of gift, or a case in which a woman has been the wife of the emperor for two generations, it was difficult to find even the least women′s right. It is hard to deny that there is a deep-rooted sense of discrimination against women based on this persecution of women, and Confucian and Buddhist ideas as 󰡐gosyosanju󰡑󰡐nyoninkinse󰡑 are helped. Historically, women have suffered power damage for a long time, and there has been a male-centered way of thinking behind it, and it would be hard to deny that today's gender issues also have a counteracting nature to women's persecution done in the past. In other words, the past does not end up as a problem of the past, but leads to the present. In order to face current facts, reinterpreting the classics is meaningful and necessary.
