武士道와 日帝의 무도교육에 관한 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the connection of the Musado Spirit in Japan with Japanese colonial era martial arts education and to reveal the ultimate purpose and development process of martial arts education aimed at establishing the Musado spirit.Japan was dominated by warrior for 700 years before its modernization, so naturally, the culture of warrior is deeply rooted in Japanese thought to this day. The Musa culture is organized under the name of Musado, which dominates Japanese thinking. However, Musado in the militaristic era can be seen as a result of the warrior changing his clothes to a soldier and the Musado changing into a military spirit. In other words, the reality of martial arts education in Joseon, which linked the spirit of Musado in the Japanese colonial era era, emphasized a stronger Japanese ideology as the war intensified, which was explained in comparison to the spirit of Musado. In 1914, the Japanese government enacted the Imperial Edict No. 27 “School Gymnastics Course” to adopt kendo and judo as extracurricular activities with gymnastics and to include Japanese martial arts in schools in Joseon. In addition, the Japanese government will make all-out efforts to promote the distribution of Japanese martial arts throughout the Joseon society by establishing martial arts organizations, publishing martial arts magazines, and academic journals to create a social atmosphere prior to the active introduction of Japanese martial arts. In addition, the Japanese government emphasized the tradition of the spirit of Mudo in the process of popularizing the martial arts and used it to establish the identity of Japanese people from the hitters. Mudo was created as a national morality when militarism expanded and emerged as an optimal educational means to cultivate strong soldiers in wartime situations. In addition, when the situation of the Pacific War turned unfavorable, the Japanese emphasized Mousado as an ideology. Therefore, it was confirmed that Musado in Japan was used as the main ideology for fostering strong soldiers needed for war in the policy of Japanese.
