日本律令國家의 百濟郡․高麗郡․新羅郡에 보이는 交流와 共存

Abstract

In general, Japanese scholars have called people coming and going to Korean peninsula and Japanese archipelago as ‘immigrants’ or ‘naturalized citizens’ since both regions had the connection with each other from the ancient times of Korea and Japan. But, there are still many arguments about concepts like ‘immigrants’ or ‘naturalized citizens’ as expressions of human exchange between the two countries. Up to now, existing studies on the exchange of people between Korea and Japan have mainly analyzed in terms of ‘control’ and ‘administration.’ However, in the ancient Korean and Japanese history regarding people interchanges, the peaceful exchange and coexistence also seemed to exist as well as ‘control’ and ‘administration'. Accordingly, the purpose of this paper is to examine the history of ‘exchange’ and ‘coexistence’ of people between Korea and Japan. The Ancient Japan which captured many Korean refugees by collapse of Baekje and Goguryo, started to develop the different national system from the past. As it is well-known that the nation adopted ‘Japan’ for the country name and called its ruler ‘the Emperor’, its polity was none other than a centralized nation. After the end of the 7th century, the communities of Korean people called ‘Baekje Villages’ in Naniwa Sesnokuni and in Katano Gawachi, Goryo and Shilla Villages in Ganto, respectively, began to be formed. The different governing systems in ‘Gun’, a level of administrative system of a centralized imperial country which is correspondent to a completion of Ancient Japan can be considered as the example of new ‘exchange’ and ‘coexistence’.
