In 50 years, the Japanese books will say Japan didn't colonize Korea, Japan was just helping Koreans to modernize. In 50 years, Japan didn't attack China, China attacked Japan. In 50 years, America nuked Japan for no good reasons. In 50 years, Tojo was a good man who promoted democracy in Japan. In 50 years, bull shit will become truth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946845.post-1143575602905389222006-03-29T04:53:00.000+09:002006-03-29T04:53:00.000+09:00The Korean film industry began in the early 1920s ...The Korean film industry began in the early 1920s during the period of political relaxation that followed the 3.1 movement. By 1937, "<I>Japan had invaded China, and the Korean film industry would become transformed into an instrument of the Japanese propaganda effort. In 1942, Korean-language films were banned outright by the government.</I>" [<A HREF="http://koreanfilm.org/history.html" REL="nofollow">Link</A>]<BR/><BR/>As I've said, the period between 1920 and 1937 was a more relaxed period and these examples you've provided are from that period. The pictures of the records are pretty neat, though.<BR/><BR/>Some of the Japanese socialists mentioned in that article were actually <A HREF="http://www.spunk.org/texts/places/japan/sp001883/japchap1.html" REL="nofollow">anarchists</A> (the 1910 'Emperor Assassination Plot' that is mentioned involved the execution of 10 prominent anarchists, including Kotoku Shusui); The 2.8 declaration was something I'd never learned much about, but found some articles related to it (as well as a translation of the declaration) here.

Many of the anarchists and socialists in Japan were anti-imperialist, so I imagine they would have been in solidarity with the Korean students there. Suffice to say, Korean students in Japan were much more likely to learn about radical ideas there than in the much more repressive climate of Korea in the 1910s. One thing I've always wondered about were the Gandhian aspects of the 3.1 uprising and where the Koreans learned of those ideas - whether they heard of Ghandi's civil disobedience in South Africa, or whether it was developed independently.matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10296009437690229938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946845.post-1143538693263919632006-03-28T18:38:00.000+09:002006-03-28T18:38:00.000+09:00A list of Korean movies released during annexation...A list of Korean movies released during annexation.<BR/>http://kaokaosama.hp.infoseek.co.jp/garakuta/cinema3.html<BR/><BR/>Some of Korean songs released by Japanese record companies in the late 1930's.<BR/>http://syasinsyuu.cool.ne.jp/corea/corea22.jpg<BR/>http://syasinsyuu.cool.ne.jp/corea/corea21.jpg<BR/><BR/>To say the Japanese sought to wipe out Korean culture is just wrong and it misleads people.<BR/><BR/>As for the Samil uprising, I recommend you to read this article.<BR/>http://www.ddanzi.com/ddanziilbo/46/46so_3002-2.htmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946845.post-1143500797112635032006-03-28T08:06:00.000+09:002006-03-28T08:06:00.000+09:00By the way, thanks for the kind words Owen, and pk...By the way, thanks for the kind words Owen, and pk.matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10296009437690229938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946845.post-1143480858988088142006-03-28T02:34:00.000+09:002006-03-28T02:34:00.000+09:00Excellent stuff.

This shows Koreans students in Japan were still allowed to use Korean names.<BR/>http://park6.wakwak.com/~photo/image/tb02.jpg<BR/><BR/>When Korea was a vassal state of China, every official document was written in Chinese character. The first newspaper written in both Chinese character and Hangul was Kanjyo Shunpo (Seoul Weekly Report) and it was published by Yukichi Fukuzawa in 1886. Anyone who claim the Japanese sought to wipe out Korean culture is just ignorant. If the Japanese government had intended to eradicate the Korean culture, it would not have allowed the publication of Korean language newspapers, books, movies, songs etc, or Korean education in schools in the first place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946845.post-1143455161668971562006-03-27T19:26:00.000+09:002006-03-27T19:26:00.000+09:00They sought to wipe out Korean culture?
