『최근 지나와 만선(最近の支那と満鮮)』 속 조선의 모습 -충청도 지역을 중심으로-
A description of Korea in “Recent China, Manchuria, and Joseon” - Focusing on the Chungcheong-do Province -
In Sugimoto Masayuki’s book “Recent China, Manchuria and Joseon,” he describes the daily life of the Chungcheong region, where there were few information, so it is considered valuable as a material. Sugimoto, on the other hand, shows that he has an ambivalent view of Korea in the book. One of his views is that he incorporates the colonialist discourse directed at Joseon in his book. It would have been difficult to understand the politics of the leadership while staying in Chungcheong-do Province for a short time instead of Seoul, the capital of Joseon. Nevertheless, he concludes that the Korean people are incompetent, will-less, lazy and sly. On the other hand, it is ridiculous to think about how to transport goods from poor Joseon to Japan. On the contrary, the other gaze comes from the experience of traveling in Korea. Sugimoto is guided to every corner of the market, valley, river and towns in Chungcheong-do Province by people who know Korea well. Even if he had known information about Joseon for a long time, the cultural impact he experienced must have been shocked. However, while describing the superior culture of Joseon, he exaggerates and leave negative opinions in the last part. Having experienced the various cultures of Joseon, but openly criticizing it and making negative conclusions can only be considered to acknowledge the fun of the unique experience and the diversity of Korean culture.
