쇼소인[정창원(正倉院)]은 일본 나라시내(내량시내(奈良市內)) 토다이지[동대사(東大寺)]의 후원 쪽에 위치하는 목조(木造)로 지어진 단독의 창고 건물을 가리킨다. 이곳에는 나라시대로부터 소장되기 시작한 약 9,000여점에 이르는 다종다양한 미술품과 문서를 소장하고 있는 것으로 유명하다. 정창원 유물이 주목받는 까닭은 8세기 일본의 공예, 조각, 회화는 물론 사산조 페르시아, 인도와 같이 실크로드를 통해 건너온 물품과 당시 통일신라와 중국 당대에서 유입된 유물을 동시에 살펴볼 수 있기 때문이다. 여기에 수백여점에 달하는 생생한 문서가 잘 보존되어 있어 당시의 사회 제반 상황은 물론이고 문화 외교의 교류사 및 불교 교리의 변천까지 아우르는 역사적 고증 자료로 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 우리가 주목하는 것은 이러한 정창원 소장 유물이 과연 어느 시기에 어느 곳에서 제작된 것인가에 관한 문제로서 이들 중에는 중국에서 만들어져 수입되거나 선물로 받은 것도 있겠지만 백제나 통일신라에서 만들어져 정창원에 소장된 유물이 다수 전해지고 있어 그 중요성이 더욱 부각되고 있다. 이처럼 중요성을 지닌 정창원 관련 연구가 그동안 어떻게 진행되어 왔는지 정리된 적이 없었다. 따라서 본고에서는 국내 외 학자를 중심으로 이루어진 정창원 금속공예의 연구 현황을 살펴보고 최근 한반도에서 출토되고 있는 금속공예품을 통해 이들이 지닌 정창원 유물과의 연관성을 검토해 보았다. 나아가 정창원 조사와 연구에 대해 앞으로 어떤 방향으로 진행되는 것이 바람직한지 정창원 조사와 연구의 과제를 다음과 같이 정리한 내용이다. 1, 정창원 소장 유물 조사를 위한 국가 차원의 지원 및 창구의 일원화 2. 정창원 소장 유물의 체계적인 목록화 작업 및 데이터베이스화 3. 일본과 공동 조사 연구의의 적극적인 시행 및 정창원 관련 연구자의 초청 4. 정창원 유물과 국내 보물급 유물의 교류 전시 추진 5. 정창원 관련 서적의 출판과 지원을 통한 연구 저변의 확대.

The relics of the Southeast Asian civilizations in the first phase are found with the relics from India, China, and even further West of Persia and Rome. These relics are the historic marks of the ancient interactions of various continents, mainly through the maritime trade. The traces of the indic culture, which appears in the historic age, are represented in the textual records and arts, regarded as the essence of the India itself. The ancient Hindu arts found in various locations of Southeast Asia were thought to be transplanted directly from India. However, Neither did the Gupta Hindu Art of India form the mainstream of the Gupta Art, nor did it play an influential role in the adjacent areas. The Indian culture was transmitted to Southeast Asia rather intermittently than consistently. If we thoroughly compare the early Hindu art of India and that of Southeast Asia, we can find that the latter was influenced by the former, but still sustained Southeast Asian originality. The reason that the earliest Southeast Asian Hindu art is discovered mostly in continental Southeast Asia is resulted from the fact that the earliest networks between India and the region were constructed in this region. Among the images of Hindu gods produced before the 7th century are Shiva, Vishnu, Harihara, and Skanda(the son of Shiva), and Ganesha(the god of wealth). The earliest example of Vishnu was sculpted according to the Kushan style. After that, most of the sculptures came to have robust figures and graceful proportions. There are a small number of images of Ganesha and Skanda. These images strictly follow the iconography of the Indian sculpture. This shows that Southeast Asians chose their own Hindu gods from the Hindu pantheon selectively and devoted their faiths to them. Their basic iconography obediently followed the Indian model, but they tried to transform parts of the images within the Southeast Asian contexts. However, it is very difficult to understand the process of the development of the Hindu faith and its contents in the ancient Southeast Asia. It is because there are very few undamaged Hindu temples left in Southeast Asia. It is also difficult to make sure that the Hindu religion of India, which was based on the complex rituals and the caste system, was transplanted to Southeast Asia, because there were no such strong basis of social structure and religion in the region. "Indianization" is an organized expansion of the Indian culture based on the sense of belonging to an Indian context. This can be defined through the process of transmission and progress of the Hindu or Buddhist religions, legends about purana, and the influx of various epic expression and its development. Such conditions are represented through the Sanskrit language and the art. It is the element of the Indian culture to fabricate an image of god as a devotional object. However, if we look into details of the iconography, style, and religious culture, these can be understood as a "selective reception of foreign religious culture." There were no sophisticated social structure yet to support the Indian culture to continue in Southeast Asia around the 7th century. Whether this phenomena was an "Indianization" or the "influx of elements of Indian culture," it was closely related to the matter of 'localization.' The regional character of each local region in Southeast Asia is partially shown after the 8th century. However it is not clear whether this culture was settled in each region as its dominant culture. The localization of the Indian culture in Southeast Asia which acted as a network connecting ports or cities was a part of the process of localization of Indian culture in pan-Southeast Asian region, and the process of the building of the basis for establishing an identity for each Southeast Asian region.
