부산항 일본인 거류지의 설치와 형성 = 개항 초기를 중심으로

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The fourth provision of the <Japanese-Korea Treaty of Amity(Treaty of Ganghwa)>, established in February, 1876, and the <Lease contract of the concession in Pusan Port> agreed in the following January changed ‘Waegwan’ into Japanese ‘concession’.
The admittance of the Chosun Dynasty to found the Japanese ‘concession’ was explainable, since ‘Waegwan’, from the end of the Chosun Dynasty, has been a specialized district where trade and diplomatic affairs between the Dynasty and the Tsushima Han took place. Waegwan, although first established in the fifteenth-century, had been in an unstable state until sometime after the Japanese invasion of Korea in 1592, when the national relationship between the two was recovered: it then was reestablished in the beginning of 1678 and became the centrepoint of their interrelationship. The Chosun Dynasty successfully maximized the utility of the district by guarding and restricting the officials from Tsushima Han and the Japanese overseas’ traders.
When one scrutinizes and compares the idea and the policy of the two countries about the ‘concession’, it could be detected that Chosun had taken i t as a revival of an ol d tradition, but Japan had had a modern concept for it. The negotiations made in the <Japanese-Korea Treaty of Amity> and the <Lease contract of the concession in Pusan Port> well demonstrate the difference. Through these contracts, Chosun tried to limit the Japanese merchants within the restricted area as before, but Japan acquired advantageous trade policies in the whole Dongraebu, by convincing the Chosun government or making use of its ignorance.
After the establishment, Pusan concession developed into an ‘Japanese town’ which one could almost call a Japanese district. It became a Japanese trade and residential area, where the Japanese could manage and develop the estate, and even self-govern. However, a large Japanese population in the area was still from Tsushima, for only those from Tsushima could trade in the old Choryanghang concession, and the same people continued to cross the sea after the reform. They worked as commission agents of big merchants, the long enterprise with Chosun merchants from the period of the old concession. It seems clear that despite the modern characteristics of the new Choryanghang concession, it still contained pre-modern features of the old times.
