This is a study on the value of Chophae shino as a material for linguistic study focusing on its linguistic characteristics and status (including abuse of dialect). As mentioned in the previous study, the status of Chophae shino in linguistic terms can be considered from 3 main aspects: (1) the influence of Kyushu dialect (2) Kyoto dialect (3) misuse by the interference of the mother tongue and incompetence in Japanese language Each aspect has enough probability. But concerning (3) misuse by the interference of the mother tongue (of the author) and incompetence in Japanese language, there seemed to be a need for a more sociolinguistic approach and accordingly such an approach was tried in this study. First of all, the Japanese version has 「kureru」and 「kutasaru」which have been revised from the original 「yaru」and 「yarasiraru」as in the example 1 and example 2. There are many cases of 「～(a)si ‘sasi’ raru」format, which is also a very rare format in the writing at that time. But examples of these features are found in Hirano (1964) and modern dialects (Fukuoka, Saga, Kumamoto). The Korean version has similar tendency to that of the Japanese version. One example is the case of「-Siso」(uniting ending) for request and describing) and noun indication . The published version has as many as 11 times of 「-Siso」form. Tae-young Lee (1997) points out that it is a characteristic of ‘Southeast dialect (of Korea)’. And Now that a long time has passed, there are is definite material in both the Korean and Japanese languages to provide a reliable definition. It is not known up to now in which place of Japan the author had served his sentence. The only thing we can do is to presume that the author might have stayed in areas in which Kyushu dialect is spoken (especially Fukuoka and Saga). It is unfortunate that the limitations of data prevent further discussion. More research may be needed on this subject as well as on linguistic phenomena unidentified so far.

EKIBEN to withdraw from the train station

I have so far examined the history of EKIBEN centering on historicity as reflected in KAKEGAMI (wrapping paper) of EKIBEN and the way in which EKIBEN is sold. KAKEGAMI not only contained information on EKIBEN but was also used as a medium to promote the famous tourist destinations, local specialties, and events from the era of Meiji, Taisyo up to the early SYOWA era. It also printed manners for railway travel and corporate advertisements, which gave us a glimpse of its social status. In the prewar era (1931-1945), it frequently had war slogans or pictures representing the war; and in the period of rapid economic growth, it often included tourism campaigns. KAKEGAMI will be able to find its place in history as a document that was influenced by the social conditions and at the same time represented the change of trends from local specialties, tourist packages, and health foods. The history of EKIBEN shows that the early EKIBEN contributed to the local tourist industry to a certain degree. However, as the kinds of special box lunch making use of the local specialties were reduced in the war period and ‘ordinary’ box lunch became more general, the attribute of EKIBEN as an unusual ‘Hare’ tended to dwindle. After the defeat in the war, EKIBEN contributed to promotion of railway travel with the boom in travel industry in the period of rapid economic growth. But with the diversification of means of transportation and food, the way it is sold is also being diversified. This leads to the dwindling significance of the railway station and railroad journey. With its history along with railway stations which has seen EKIBEN competitions, EKIBEN mail order sales, specialty EKIBEN shops, now EKIBEN is faced with a moment in history to reexamine itself to decide which directions it should take for the future. The experience and know-how acquired from the history of EKIBEN can offer an important pointer to the future direction of EKIBEN, and further to the improvement of railway box lunch sold by Korail such as ‘Rail Lak楽’ (Lak楽 meaning pleasure or joy).

Acculturation and Locality of Shinokubo-Focused on Linguistic Landscape

This study concentrates on Shin-Ookubo, the new uprising Koreatown in Tokyo, as a tour spot for local Japanese visitors to connect and assimilate with another culture, especially by analyzing the phenomenon by examining the names on restaurant and road signs. Restaurant signs are named from a process of “naming.” “Naming” not only happens individually, but also by a group of individuals of a certain culture. As the naming is approved, it soon acquires social characteristics. Especially, language on signboards sensitively portray the lifestyle and the changes in the society. This, in other terms can mean that individual lifestyles and psychological emotions get affected by being exposed to such signboards. However, language on signboards does not hold an exclusive meaning, and can be interpreted in different meanings. The meaning is not fixed. The user can take in the meaning of the signboard the same way as the namer(producer)’s intention or in a completely different way. Therefore, it is important to learn how Shin-Ookubo became the center of Koreatown by observing its history, space, and location, and to observe how the Korean wave, the term for Korean pop culture, assimilates and connects with different cultures by looking through store and road signs. As a result, modern awareness interpreted non-western, colored, and women as minorities in comparison to western, white, and men. Also, modernization caused alleys to disappear by newly constructed main streets. Meanwhile, while narrow alleys are symbolized as high-quality culture in Ginza, Shin-Ookubo welcomes women visitors with hand-written signs, and women also are attracted by meaningless pictures and Japanese letters that does not follow their norms. People are seeking change by experiencing new culture and space by recalling one’s family and home and recovering from the loss. Also, intertwined Korean and Japanese signboard languages can be interpreted as a resistance to norms and people have the ability to read out those resistance whether it is occurred consciously or unconsciously. Resistance and acceptance without subject also can be another key feature to understand the meaning of the space.

In Secheon-dong, Dong-gu, Daejeon there is a portal to the old Jeungyak 1st tunnel of the Gyeongbu Railway (Seoul-Busan Railway). On the upper part of the portal is installed a stone plaque with the inscription ‘嶽神驚奔(Akshinkyungbun)’. It is the handwriting of Gonsuke Hayashi, who served as the Envoy Extraordinary of Japan to Korea from 1899 to 1906. The present study examined the role of Hayashi in Japanese invasion of Korea, and the significance of the plaque he left behind. While working as an Envoy Extraordinary, Hayashi played an important and decisive role in the conclusion of the ‘Japan-Korea Treaty of 1904’, the ‘Japan-Korea Agreement of August 1904’, and the ‘Japan-Korea Treaty of 1905.’ These treaties and agreement were needed during the process in which Japan deprived Korea of the functions as an independent country and extended its dominion. Hayashi had a very negative view of the Koreans and the government of the Korean Empire. In 1904, when he was in office as the Envoy Extraordinary to Korea, Japan started the rapid construction of the Gyeongbu Railway in preparation for the war with Russia. Yet the residents stood against the construction because the mountain, where the Jeungyak 1st tunnel was to be built, was deemed sacred. But their voice was ignored and the construction began. In the winter of 1904, a riot broke out at the construction site. The reason was that, compared to the Japanese laborers, Korean laborers had been receiving discriminatory treatment, and a Japanese supervisors beat the Korean laborers. But eventually the riot was suppressed by the military police. After the construction of the tunnel, someone in the legation asked Hayashi for writing an inscription for the plaque, and the result is aforementioned ‘嶽神驚奔(Akshinkyungbun)’, meaning “the mountain god took flight in fright.” Later in his memoirs, Hayashi said it was “a funny thing” to have enforced the construction. This shows that his attitude to Korean culture was that of derision. The plaque reflects his understanding of Korea. It was a pity that he had no mind to pay respect to the nation and culture in which he was working. The plaque extant tells us of the fact.
