고대 교토의 한반도계 신사와 사원 연구 ─잊혀진 한류의 원점─

Abstract

Kyoto has often been said to be both the true center of Japanese traditional culture and the genuine home of the Japanese spirit. However, what is not well-known and almost forgotten today, is that Kyoto was originally pioneered by the Hata clan(秦氏) who immigrated to Japan from Kaya(伽倻)=Shilla(新羅) Kingdom of the Korean Peninsula.

The purpose of this paper is to clarify the relationship between several important Shinto shrines as well as Buddhist temples in ancient Kyoto called Yamashiro(山城) or Heian(平安) and the Korean immigrants in terms of a Korean Wave(韓流, Hallyu).

Actually, the numerous Korean immigrants from the three Kingdoms,-Koguryo(高句麗), Baekche(百濟), and Shilla-of the Korean Peninsular are closely associated not only with the Buddhist temples such as Koryuji(廣隆寺), Koma-dera(高麗寺), Katagihara-dera(樫原寺), Hokanji(法觀寺), Chohoji(頂法寺), Kitano-dera(北野寺), Kanimanji(蟹滿寺), Kiyomizu-dera(淸水寺), etc. but also with the Shinto shrines such as Fushimi-inari-taisha(伏見稲荷大社), Matsunoo-taisha(松尾大社), upper and lower Kamo-jinja(上賀茂神社․下鴨神社), Yasaka-jinja(八坂神社), Hirano-jinja(平野神社), Kara-jinja(韓神社), Konoshimanimasu-Amaterasu-mitama-jinja(木島坐天照御魂神社), Kokai-jinja(蚕養神社), Osake-jinja(大酒神社), Kadononimasu-tsukiyomi-jinja(葛野坐月讀神社), Kitanotenmangu(北野天滿宮), Nakaragi-jinja(半木神社), Sakatoke-jinja(酒解神社), Ota-jinja(大田神社), Daishogunhachi-jinja(大將軍八神社) etc.

It is expected that we could find another Korean wave in ancient Kyoto and understand its positive signification by investigating those shrines and temples. Provisionally I conclude that such a study of the Korean Wave in ancient Kyoto will free us from a narrow-minded, nationalistic complex, and thus will lead us to an open-minded global perspective which possibly goes far forward overcoming the difficulties that exist in the Korea-Japan relationship.
