The History of Korean Immigrants' Exploration of the Japanese Archipelago
 |
Description
Book Introduction
A must-read for both the general public and experts on a journey through Japanese history.
A compilation of ancient Korean and Japanese history and the stories of Korean immigrants in the ancient Japanese archipelago.
The History of Korean Immigrants' Exploration of the Japanese Archipelago
―Where did the roots of the country called Japan begin?
A shocking truth revealed through the shadows of ancient history.
The moment you open this book, you may have to completely rewrite what you knew about the origins of Japan.
Author Lee Jae-il has been traveling throughout the Japanese archipelago for over ten years, personally examining relics such as ancient tombs, shrines, ancient ruins, and mountain fortresses.
Those steps were more than just a survey; they were a journey of exploration toward the truth.
And finally, he uncovers the hidden truth, the reality of history that has been ignored.
“The origin of the country called Japan is the immigrants who crossed over from the Korean Peninsula.” This is not a conspiracy theory.
This is a historical fact that was reached by combining numerous ancient relics, place names that have not disappeared, and records that were intentionally hidden in Japanese history books.
The Great Migration of a Thousand Years: The Hidden Journey
This book traces the lives of people who migrated from the Korean Peninsula to the Japanese archipelago over a period of approximately 1,000 years, from the 3rd century BC to the 7th century AD.
The early immigrants settled in places easily accessible by sea, such as the northern coast of Kyushu and the Izumo region.
At first, they were small and insignificant, but gradually the number of immigrants increased, and they expanded their power further east and into wider areas.
By the 4th century, political groups that had actually exerted influence on the Korean Peninsula, such as Gaya, Silla, and Goguryeo, had migrated to the Japanese archipelago in an organized manner.
They settled in the Kawachi, Asuka, and Nara regions, which are now Osaka and Nara, and established their own political base in the Japanese archipelago.
It was not a simple immigration, but rather a migration closer to ‘conquest.’
A nation with a hidden identity and a manipulated history
What is interesting is that over time these immigrants managed to completely conceal their origins.
In the 7th century, when a decisive power shift occurred on the Korean Peninsula, the immigrants who had settled in Japan could no longer maintain ties with their homeland.
They created a completely new identity within the Japanese archipelago and rewrote its history.
Because of this, Japan's ancient history is cut off and distorted.
Author Lee Jae-il asserts that “Japan’s origins did not begin within the Japanese archipelago, but began with the hands of people who crossed the sea.”
This book, based on empirical data and field research, reveals in detail who they were and why they took over Japan's indigenous society and established a new nation.
Korean immigrants found Japan
The most shocking fact is that the very foundation of the system that today is called the "Japanese nation" was established by these immigrants.
It was not the indigenous Japanese, but Korean immigrants who crossed the seas that formed Japan's first power structure, and the origins of the imperial family are also deeply related to this.
The fundamental elements of ancient Japan's national structure, culture, technology, writing, and even architectural style all came from the Korean Peninsula.
This fact, which had been intentionally ignored or distorted in Japanese history books, is revived through the author's persistent field research, research materials from Japanese scholars, and the unchanging historical sites and place names.
A historical exploration that uncovers hidden truths
This book is not simply a history book.
It is a journey of a historical archaeologist who uncovers the hidden side of distorted history and restores lost truths, as well as a fierce question about national identity.
And that journey excites, angers, and ultimately leads readers to profound insights.
· What are the true nature of the ancient Korean Peninsula relics scattered throughout the Japanese archipelago?
· Why did Japan try so hard to hide the traces of immigrants in ancient history?
· Why did those who crossed over from the Korean Peninsula become the ruling power in Japan?
This book will be a must-read for anyone interested in ancient East Asian history, as well as for anyone seeking insight into the historical relationship between Korea and Japan.
A story that no one has ever told before,
But it's a story you absolutely must know.

[Tomb]
I explain why I focus particularly on ancient tombs among the traces left by immigrants.
The people who built the tombs were not the Jomon people, the indigenous people of the Japanese archipelago, but immigrants from the Korean Peninsula.
Comparing the ancient tombs of the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese archipelago.
First of all, the level of burial goods from Baekje, Silla, and Gaya tombs is so high that it cannot be compared to those from Japan.
Hirayama Ikuo says, “The Takamatsu tomb is nothing more than a miniature version of the Goguryeo tombs, and its murals, compared to those of the Goguryeo murals, are likely replicas of those from the Korean Peninsula.”
The relationship between the region and the immigrant population.
For example, the stone chamber of the Sekimudai Tomb in Asuka is the largest in Japan.
This tomb is known as the tomb of Soga no Umako, an ancestor of the Soga clan who appears to have come from the Korean Peninsula.
According to the Shoku Nihongi, 80-90% of the residents of the Asuka region, where the Seokmu-dai Tomb is located, were immigrants, so we can see the relationship between the tomb and the immigrants.
The construction of tombs in Japan began in the late 3rd century by immigrants from the Korean Peninsula and continued until around the 7th century, during the Yamato period, which was formed by the Baekje people.
Since most of the inhabitants of the Japanese archipelago during the Kofun period were immigrants from the Korean Peninsula, it is only natural that the people who built the tombs were also immigrants from the Korean Peninsula.
The tombs were not built by the indigenous people of the Japanese archipelago by imitating the tombs of the Korean Peninsula or learning their construction methods, but by the immigrants themselves.

Publisher's Review
Tracing the 1,000-year Hidden Footsteps of the People Who Crossed the Sea from the Korean Peninsula and Cultivated the Japanese Archipelago
『The History of Korean Immigrants' Exploration of the Japanese Archipelago』 is not a simple historical travelogue.
This book is the author's long journey, doggedly tracing how the immigrants who crossed from the Korean Peninsula to the Japanese archipelago over a period of a thousand years, from the 3rd century BC to the 7th century AD, lived and breathed in ancient Japanese history.
In his previous book, “Islands Under the Sun, Walking Japan,” author Lee Jae-il examined the traces of immigrants in eastern and northern Honshu, Japan, and in this book, he expands his perspective to all of Japan.
From Shikoku, Kyushu, Okayama (Kibi), Nara, Kyoto, Omi, and eastern Kyushu? The process of unearthing the traces of the Aya clan of Gaya, the Hata clan of Silla, and later Baekje immigrants who permeated every corner of the country, through tombs, shrines, place names, and legends, is like the hands of a detective piecing together a puzzle of ancient history.
What the author noticed was not simply the similarity of relics or place names.
He concretizes the migration routes and settlement patterns of immigrants through the distribution and rituals of Japanese shrines that reflect ancestor worship culture, the migration routes of shrines worshipping the same god, and the preservation rate of place names.
In particular, the history of the Shikoku and Kibi regions, which were the arena of activity for the Aya and Hata clans, and the Nara and Kawachi regions, where the Baekje-affiliated Soga clan led the Asuka period, comes to life in a more three-dimensional way in this book.
The emergence of the Soga clan from Kawachi was a decisive event that brought the Baekje culture to bloom in Japanese political and cultural history, and this led to the formation of a new Japanese nation through an alliance with the Silla clan after the fall of Baekje.
Through this, the author persuasively presents the crucial contribution of 'Korean immigrants' in ancient Japanese history.
The highlight of this book is undoubtedly the exploration of the Kyushu region.
From the Northern Kyushu archaeological site that explains the origins of Yayoi culture, to the birth of Toyo Kingdom and the eastward expansion of Gaya forces, to Joseon-style mountain fortresses and tumuli, and even the history of Usa Shrine and Ise Shrine, the footsteps of Korean immigrants hidden within Japanese history are reborn through a vast array of relics and materials.
Author Lee Jae-il meticulously constructs a "history of immigrants" by encompassing literature, artifacts, myths, and folktales.
Those we called 'immigrants' were not mere immigrants.
They were 'co-founders' who were deeply rooted in the politics, religion, technology, and culture of the Japanese archipelago.
"The History of Korean Immigrants' Exploration of the Japanese Archipelago" is a weighty answer to readers who question their current identity through ancient history.
This book, which allows us to revisit another face of Japanese history we were unaware of, and the presence of the Korean people embedded within it, will leave a lasting impression on those interested in history, people, and roots.
Author's Note
While I was writing this historical travelogue about ancient Japanese history, a thought kept running through my mind.
I felt like I was having a fierce personal battle of wits with geniuses like Ohno Yasumaro, who organized Japanese mythology, Fujiwara no Fuhito, who led the compilation of the Nihon Shoki, and others who erased the recorded history of immigrants.
They had created an unsolvable riddle, and I felt like I was racking my brain trying to figure it out.
History, especially ancient history, is a clever mix of facts and fabricated or distorted facts.
After a considerable amount of time has passed, I once again realized that finding out the truth is by no means an easy task.
To prove my hypothesis that Japan's ancient history was created by immigrants from the Korean Peninsula, I visited numerous ancient tombs, shrines, and mountain fortresses left behind by these immigrants in the Japanese archipelago and tried to find evidence that differs from what is recorded.
The long journey, where waves after waves reveal new things, is finally coming to an end.
