AB - This paper studies the form and characteristics of the Dangun Myth in Joseon legendry written in Japanese in Modern era. This paper discovered that a total of 13 Japanese Jo Joseon legendry texts containing the Dangun myth were published between 1891 and 1943. These 13 texts can be largely divided into two types depending on whether they include a description of Dangun discourse. First, Dangun myths which do not refer to Dangun discourse can be divided into the two sub types. One type summarizes the Dangun myths in Dongguktonggam, or Samgukyusa and the other type are adaptations of the Dangun myth in Samgukyusa. First, the Dongguktonggam record of the Dangun myth was composed in 1891. It is indicated that the Japanese people recognized Dangun as the historical origin of Korea. Another text composed in 1908 confuses Jumong and Dangun. Second, in the case of the adaptation of the myth of Samgukyusa, the narratives focused on the transformation of bear and tiger and the marriage of the bear and Hwanung, and this trend continued from 1919 to 1943. This shows that the storytellers were not interested in Dangun's birth or the founding of Gojoseon, and the Dangun myth was no longer considered sacred. The national myth was transmitted and enjoyed only as a folktale. Next, the myth in which Dangun discourse is described can be divided into those that emphasize the theory of Japan and Korea’s ancestral homogeneity and those that claim that Dangun myth was fabricated. In both cases, the Dangun myths of Dongguktonggam or Samgukyusa were fully reprinted. Meanwhile the texts arguing that the Dangun myths were fabricated followed the arguments that had been put forward by contemporary Japanese scholars.
