'Korean people’ in Okinawa literature - about the possibility and the limit of the others representation - So, Myung-Sun Korean residents in Japan and the Okinawa people get a lot of partial common features seen when seeing from the imperialism history of Japan. What kind of recognition does the Okinawa people who is minority have for a ‘Korean people’ made minority by a similar process for empire Japan? The purpose of this paper is to consider how Okinawa literature as Japanese minority literature is expressing minority's ‘Korean people’ mainly by the ‘Korean people’ drawn in the Okinawa literature. There are not many works which perform representation of a ‘Korean people’ in Okinawa literature. The first work that draws ‘Korean people’ is “Mr. Saito in the heaven building” of Yamanokuchi Baku announced in the 1930's. This paper makes five novels drawing a ‘Korean people’ between the 1930's and the 1980's the object of consideration. I can confirm an image for the ‘Korean people’ of the Okinawa people through a study about the ‘Korean people’ representation in the Okinawa literature. I can show a process of others recognition of the Okinawa people and possibility and the limit nature of the self-portrait of the Okinawa people with it.
