초록

This study analyzes the seven middle-school history textbooks of Japan which were officially certified in March 2011, to investigate how they describe and represent Waegu, the Mongolian invasion of Japan, Hideyoshi’s invasion of Joseon, and the Joseon-Japan relationship in the Edo period.
Of the seven reviewed textbooks, as far as the medieval to early modern Joseon-Japan relationship is concerned, those published by Simizushoin, Kyoikushuppan, and Teikokushoin show relatively low numbers of so-called problematic descriptions. Meanwhile, the ones published by Ikuhousha and Ziyusha exhibit relatively high numbers; and of the two the Ziyusha edition the higher.
As is examined in this study, the Ziyusha edition which had been initially submitted for official approval abounds in inaccurate descriptions of facts and ungrounded statements. The finally certified Ziyusha edition still displays a tendency either to rationalize aggressive acts or to scale down the consequences of despoilment when it comes to Japanese invasions. On the other hand, in regard to foreign invasions suffered by Japan, statements of glorified heroic prowess are conspicuous, along with those that justify modernization. In terms of Japan’s relationships with other countries, a lack of accuracy is noticeable in factual descriptions.
There has not been a complete absence of positive changes—perhaps in consideration of Korea’s continuous requests for revisions and corrections—such as an occasional rephrasing or elimination of problematic statements. However, even the Kyoikushuppan edition and Tokyoshoseki edition, which have relatively high market shares, are only very slightly lower in the numbers of problematic statements and descriptions than the Ikuhousha edition. Under these circumstances, the prospect of the Ikuhousha and Ziyusha textbooks’ market demands calls for further attention, raising concern over the possibility of increased nationalism and ethnocentrism in future generations’ historical awareness.
