帶金式 板甲의 倭系 甲冑論 再考

Abstract

The Daegeum type armour is a kind of arms which protect body from enemy’s attack, and it is also called 7 stage composition armour by the formalized compositional feature. In the 5th century, it was distributed in the southern part of Korea and the Japanese Islands. In the initial stage research, it was suggested that this kind of armour was made in the southern part of Korea, however, Korean and Japanese researchers think it belonged to Japanese armour. It is caused by the higher excavated quantity. Based on this epistemology, when the Daegeum type armour is excavated in Korea, it tends to be studied in relationship with Japan. I do criticize this point. As for Japan, it was impossible to product iron, and it was hard to obtain iron material at that time, and the iron production technology was low. In examination of an armour, a lower plate(Doryun plate) and an upper plate(Godae plate), the framework of the Daegeum type armour is originated from the Jongjang plate armour production technology. Especially, it can be specified as the production figure of Gimhae and Busan. The dissolution of the Former Gaya is linked with the establishment of the middle of Gobun Period of Japan. Around this time, the Daegeum type plate was emerged in the hands of traditional smith who produced Jongjang plate armour before. The DongIlryun type plate armour with strap which emerged first in the Daegeum type plate could be produced by traditional smith with Japanese smith. However, plate armour with rivet is based on the high technique such as bending and covering border technique and iron hinge, so it is impossible to produce except direct involving of Korean smith. In this light, the role of Japan as a market is magnified.
