At the end of 16th century, after Hideyosi's invasion of Korea in 1592 the Korean culture spread into Japan. Its effect on Japan war very important to Japan. The Japanese had to learn technical knowledge of printing and movable type from Korea and Korean potters who were brought to Japan to be the founders of the most important traditions of pottery making during the following centuries. Above all confucianism or Korean philosophers, for example, Ree Taege and Kang Su-Un(姜睡隱) as well as their books and meterials also spread into Japan. At that time the structure of Japanese Society was different from Korea and China. The Tokugawa political and social system was Samurai and Daimyo system in the gross of Chu Hsi's philosophy in Japan. His philosophy was Japanized. But this Japanized confucianism is apparently distinguished from that of Korea and China. This is the reason of building various schools until the Age of Meiji.
In ideaology from the time of Shogunate begun the creation of Ten-No system State. The position of Ten-No was mysterious. There is no such a thought as Ten-No in confucianism of Korea and China. Hence, in Japan the government enforced the subjects to have royalty with virtues of Japanized confucianism. But this virtue of Japanized Confucianism separate from the highest idea of original confucianism. The Scholar, who holds the point of view above, Criticizes confucianism and culture of Korea and China. Tue-Da, who was a scholar in the history of Japanese thought as well as Chinese thought, criticized confucianism of Korea mend china. The aufhor of this paper thinks that Tue-Da's misunderstanding was originated from Japanized Confucianism.
