Asakawa Noritaka moved to Korea in 1913 and was captured by Korean traditional ceramic art. He spent the following fifty years on studying and researching Korean traditional folk crafts. He found it was crucial to maintain the succession of the Korean cultural tradition and argued that it deserved more respect by both Korean and Japanese people. One of the prominent features of Asakawa Noritaka's theory is that it presumes a complete denial of Japanese colonial dominance. While dismissing the contemporary discourse insisting on Japan's cultural superiority, he instead discovered the very unique characteristics of the energetic Korean people in Korean traditional artworks. Another notable feature of Noritaka's theory can be seen in his respect for Korean cultural tradition and his emphasis on the eternity of Korean traditional folk crafts.\ Finally, the other feature of Noritaka's theory is its historicity: Noritaka examined the historical relations between Japan and Korea through researching Korean traditional ceramic art. In conclusion, Asakawa Noritaka's theory provides us with a window to the further understanding of the history of Japan-Korea relations from the darkest colonial times to the present.}, pages = {249--258}, title = {浅川伯教の朝鮮工芸論}, volume = {8}, year = {2005} }
