Research Trends in Japan on the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592(Imjin War)
Journal Title: International Journal of Korean History - Year 2013, Vol 18, Issue 2
Abstract
tudies on the Japanese invasion of Korea in the late 16th century (known as “The Japanese Disturbance of Imjin” in Korea and “The Korean Campaign” or “The Bunroku Keicho Attack” in Japan) have been carried out actively since the Edo Period. However, it was not until the 1970s that demonstrative studies had been sufficientlycarried out. Most of the studies were carried out in connection with the need for a theoretical supplementation of the history as part of the Theory of Toyotomi Political Power. In the 1980s, historians, including by Manji Kitajima, started demonstrative studies. The demonstrative studies were expanded in the 1990s and included factors such as military supply, negotiations, Japanese fortresses, Japanese POWs, Korean militias/POWs, and matters concerning Korean society, in addition to the military campaign. The studies continued to deepen from diverse perspectives in the 2000s. This focuses on the research about the research that was carried out over the course of a decade, starting in the 1980s and thereafter, after dealing with the period until the 1970s separately.
