일본 프롤레타리아 시에 나타난 조선 여인상

Chosen Women on the Depiction of Proletarian Poetries in Japan

This paper discusses the description of Chosen women who were portrayed in Japanese Proletarian poems. “Chosen’s Girl 1 (朝鮮の少女1)” and “Chosen’s Girl 2(朝鮮の少女2)” contain some depictions of the life of Chosen girls in cold winter who sell candies in Japan. SataIneko’s warm heart is represented in these two poems. “Colorful Clothes(色の衣装)” by Kikuoka Kyuri also shows his will to remember the beauty of Chosen’s girls. In contrast, Nakano Sigeharu’s “Chosen Girls(朝鮮の少女たち)” portrays a Chosen’s girl who resisted the Japanese occupation, which reveals a strong Proletarian character. In this poem, Nakano also accuses the brutality of the Japanese and shows her humanity sympathizing with Chosen’s girls and being concerned about their safety. “Korea’s Women(韓國の女),” “Long Autumn Hight(長長秋夜),” and “A Small Incident(小事件)” also express the sorrow of Chosen’s women. These works were created with the warm heart of Itou Keiichi, Oguma Hideo, and Ono Tojaburo towards the Korean ruled by the Japanese. Therefore, these seven works are the masterpieces that vividly represent the Korean women during the Japanese occupation, and they must remain to sparkle Japanese intellectuals’ poetic considerations.
