In spite of Japan-Korea cultural exchange, there is lack of research under life of Japanese residents by that time. Aim of this essay is research under modern Japan-Korea relations regarding to opening of Pusan port and to investigate and analyze formation of Japanese residents community and its strong connection with religious activity. In 19th century Tenri and Konkokyo sects, indigenous Japanese sect, was brought by Japanese immigrants to Korea and propagated. Immigration of indigenous sects is reason why Japanese immigrants’ community was established, teaching activities was in great concern of Japanese people. Through teaching, knowledge was gradually spreading among Koreans and it was basis to establish some organizations. Even thought those indigenous sects activity was not supported by Japanese government, in the colonial system of Japanese imperialism rule, control of peoples spiritual life was promoted. To protect Koreans traditional values consciousness and style of life, different from ruling class, forced sublimation to universal belief movement cannot be overlooked, and it has historical meaning. In fact, from modern Japan-Korea cultural exchange ethnical conflict of dominating vs. dominated can be assumed, but it was not time of mutual exclusion nationalism.
