By exploring the works of popular culture, our research aims to demonstrate that culture and politics revolve around each other. Culture and politics are not separate but are articulated into cultural politics; the process of articulation reveals various comparable areas, including contradictions and differences. Our research pays specific attention to Japanese modernity in the eight popular manga series by Naoki Urasawa. These works seemingly value peace and brotherhood, placing themselves in opposition to the logics of the conservative right wing. After engaging in a thorough reading and re-reading, however, we found three salient themes in the deep layers of the works: first, no-nationality a-nationality; second, the relationship between Japan and the West, and representation of Asia; and third, nostalgia for Japan of the past, and transnational desire. The manga series contain the ideas of leaving Asia and entering the West and overcoming modernity. Our research findings reveal that the works of popular culture, specifically those by Naoki Urasawa, subtly expose transnational desires of Japan in tandem with the tensions in international politics between Asia and Japan.

Taiwan and Korea have common memories of colonization by Japan. Therefore, for researchers studying colonial times, the two countries are becoming good comparative studies. In this article, a comparison of cultural properties systems between Taiwan and Joseon revealed the following. First, from a legal point of view, Japan's internalism was reflected to some extent in Taiwan. Accordingly, Taiwan's "Enforcement regulations for Historical scenic spot scenic natural monument storage method(short, Enforcement regulations)" was subordinate to Japanese law, and the Joseon's "Enforcement ordinances for Treasure and Historical scenic spot scenic natural monument storage method in Joseon(short, Enforcement ordinances)" was less than the preservation order of Taiwan. But it is not possible to equate the two differences to Japan's oppressive levels. Second, while the Joseon's "Enforcement ordinances" enactment referred to relevant laws that were promulgated in Japan, it is highly likely that Taiwan's "Enforcement regulations" When establishing Joseon's "Enforcement ordinances" order, it is reasonable to assume that all laws concerning cultural properties of Japan and Taiwan were taken into consideration. Third, the difference between Taiwan and Joseon in the quantity and content designated as cultural properties was huge. The difference in the designated quantity between Taiwan and Joseon was the difference between traditional cultural resources between the two regions, which led to 14 times more cultural properties designated in Joseon than in Taiwan. And while nearly half of Taiwan's history was the vestiges of Japan's ruling power, few of the ancient sites designated by the Joseon had traces of Japanese ruling forces. This is the result of a difference in the views that the two powers had on cultural properties.

일본은 한국과 역사적 문화적으로 많은 공통적 유사성을 띠고 있다. 그리고 한국과 일본은 경제발전의 여건이 유사하면서 사회보장제도의 차이가 있다. 따라서 세계 경제대국인 일본의 사회보장제도의 연구가 필요하다. 그 이유는 우리의 실정에 부합하는 일본 사회보장제도의 도입과 보완 그리고 일본 사회보장제도의 확충과 발전을 도모함에 있어 필요하다는 것이다. 따라서 본 연구는 일본의 사회보장제도를 역사적 관점에서 이론적 연구방법론에 입각하여 일본의 사회보장제도의 구조를 분석하며 그 성립과 발전의 과정을 경제적 사회적인 발전의 배경하에 개관하고 그 현황을 분석하고 검토하는데 그 목적이 있다. 나아가 오늘날 일본이 당면한 사회보장제도의 문제를 명확하게 인식하고 그 발전을 전망해 보는데 있다.

South Korea and Japan are closely located in the Chinese character cultural area, so we have developed our culture not only with many similarities but also with own distinct ways. These were also in adoption and development of Western music. Unlike Korea, Japan is showing its potential through Opera 'Yuzuru'. Even though opera is Western music style, communicating Asian culture through their own language is one of the important issues to secure status as a cultural power in the world. As the field of opera is expanded to media entertainment with the development of digital technology, it is necessary to compare the development process of Japanese and Korean opera, which used contemporary opera as a tool of communication between cultures, It will help to develop into performing arts contents.

As recent inflows of foreign immigrants to relatively advanced countries in Northeast Asia have rapidly increased, Japan in particular uses 'multicultural coexistance' as a key concept for developing both discourse and policies on them. This paper is first of all to suggest a new typology of multicultural societies in the world ill order to differentiate the case of Northeast Asian countries from those of Western countries. And this paper is to suggest that foreign immigrants in Japan have different positions in labor markets and living experiences according to historical and social backgrounds as well as their nationality. The transformation process towards multicultural society is not only historical and social but also geographical and spatial, as foreign immigrants have made different spatial distribution and regional segregation in types. In order to control this socio-spatial process towards multicultural society, Japan has developed the concept of 'multicultural coexistence' similar with that of multiculturalism in Western countries. This concept seems to be quite significant as it has been initiated by local communities for symbiotic relationship between foreign immigrants and native Japanese dwellers. But it can be regarded as a strategic ideology to control foreign immigrants as it targets mainly on Nikkeijin, and is usually concerned with the cultural aspect. Seen from a theoretical point of view, this concept can be seen as closed with liberal multiculturalism as opportunity equity, but far from corporative multiculturalism as outcome equity, and it is on the process transferring from the first stage of tolerance to the second stage of legislation of nondiscrimination, while being distant from the third stage of legislation paradigmization of recognition, and hence appears to be easily reverted to assimilationism.

This study focuses on the importance of macro socio-economic factors to explain the successes of Hallyu(Korean Wave). Studies of Hallyu have mainly discussed the contents of Hallyu products, emphasizing the excellence of Korean culture or cultural similarities in the East Asia. Analyzing cultural industrial factors, the study purports to contribute to more comprehensive explanations of Hallyu. To do so, the study analyzes the Japanese case, because Japan is considered as society where Hallyu is most institutionalized. The study suggests the importance of cultural exchanges between Korea and Japan as the background factors for Hallyu's success in Japan. In addition, the study shows the interactions of 'push factors' in Korea and 'pull factors' from Japan. As for push factors in Korea, this paper suggests the decline of music records(CD and DVD) industry and growing competition in broadcasting industry in Korea. Regarding the pull factors from Japan, robust music industry and changing broadcasting system are discussed. Although this paper try to suggest as many evidences as possible, the macro data suggested are not fully comprehensive enough to explain the importance of cultural industrial factors. In addition, micro-level analyses on the interactions among people who are working in the cultural industries are also necessary, and thus remained for the future studies.

일본의 비판적 지식인들이 인문학 서가를 두텁게 하고 있다. 지금까지 일본 관련서가 주로 일본의 대중문학이나 '일본 알기'류의 표피적인 수준에 머물렀다면, 일본의 독특한 근대경험을 반성적으로 통찰하거나 한일간의 민감한 의제를 양심적인 시각에서 재조명한 책이 부쩍 늘었다. 특히 일본의 근대성을 탐구한 책이 집중 소개돼 국내 독자에게 서구와는 다른 제3의 시각을 보여줄 것으로 보인다.
