Difference of Representations between Japanese and Korean War Narratives : Taihei-ki and Jinshin-roku(<Special Issue>The "Inside" and the "Outside" of Medieval Japan)

Abstract

Needless to say, in any age and in any nation, war narratives are heavily charged with dominant ideologies and ruing politics. This is also true with Japan and Korea, and naturally there is a striking difference between Japanese and Korean war narratives. While comparing the representative narratives of both of the countries, Taihei-ki and Jinshin-roku, here I will historically consider the difference in viewpoint and description between them.
