ABSTRACT

“Wintry Days” is an ink painting by Kim Jeonhui (1786-1856), created in 1844. In order to clarify exactly how Fujitsuka Chikashi (1879-1948) handed over “Wintry Days” to Son Jaehyung (1903-1981) in 1944, this paper examines documents written by people who actually met Son Jaehyung. The research targets are six documents from scholars including Oh Sechang (1949), Heo Younghwan (1978), Lee Gyeomro (1987), and Jang Woosung (2003), all of whom are Korean. The common feature of these documents is their feeling that the pain of those who were ruled by the Japanese Empire and the joy of Korea's return are expressed in “Wintry Days.” In addition, the works contain many obvious errors. At the same time, Son Jaehyung was overly-dramatized as a “hero” who brought back “Wintry Days” from Japan. Among these causes, the absence of Fujitsuka Chikashi is considered the biggest reason. This is due to the fact that the source of all these documents is Son Jaehyung, and it was not until after Fujitsuka's death in December 1948 that he publicly released “Wintry Days” in Korea and began to talk about the process. In the future, I would like to ascertain the nature of materials on Fujitsuka’s side and clarify the points that have not been addressed.
