ABSTRACT

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the strategy of de-Japanization of Japanese religious groups in Korea and the overcoming process of pro-Japanese complex which their believers had, and to re-evaluate the position which Japanese religion occupied in Korean religious culture. I investigate the history of Japanese religion which has grown up to be in anti-Japanese sentiment of Korean society and the cause by which Japanese religions have grown in Korea. Next, I clarify the process which the negative social stigma has been given to Japanese religions and their believers by anti-Japanese sentiment in Korea. Then, I grasp the formation and the content of pro-Japanese complex of Japanese religion believers which was produced by social stigma from Koreans. Finally, I analyze the reaction of Japanese religious groups in Korea to anti-Japanese sentiment of Korean society, and explain the process which Japanese religious groups and their believers have overcome pro-Japanese complex.
