After Japan was defeated in the war and lost its colony, the Japanese society tried to forget their memories as a colonial empire. However, as the problem of Koreans in Japan, the inheritance from the empire, emerged and Korean War broke out, the concern about“the Joseon matter” rose. The persons related to the rule over Joseon organized an allied association in order to cope with “the Joseon matter” with the support from the enterprises returning from Joseon and those in relation to Joseon. After the outbreak of Korean War, the defense corps for motherland resorted to force more strongly, which caused fierce battles to develop between the left and the right regarding the problems of the Koreans in Japan and the rule over Joseon through daily newspapers and magazines in Japan. The newspapers and magazines of the right consistently gave malicious reports on the Koreans in Japan and straightforwardly revealed contempt and discrimination against them. Resisting against them, the Koreans in Japan, leftist writers represented as Neo Japanese Literary Society, some sensible people related to Joseon, and progressive intellectuals and journalists took issue with the attitudes of Japan about the problem of the Koreans in Japan, and criticized Japanese colonization. Those relevant to the rule over Joseon, who were holding their breath behind the censorship by GHQ and the ideological geography pursuing “a cultural nation” and “a peaceful nation” after the war, tried to spread “the collective memory” of development and improvement by “the colonizers” while fighting against “the collective memory” of suppression and exploitation by “the colonized.” They established “colony archive”(Woobang Library, Historical Records of Rule over Joseon, Woobang Series, etc.) with the support from Japanese financial circles including the Korea-Japan Economic Association which were intending to enter into Korea again after the normalization of the diplomatic relations between Korea and Japan, and carried forward the project “to make the historical collective memory” of “the colonizers.” When the Korean-Japanese Conference reached a political settlement in 1965 and the responsibility for the colonial reign was “sealed,” the “collective memory” of those related to the rule over Joseon became “the public memory” of the colonizers against the background of the rapid growth of Japan after the war, which exerted a great influence on the recognition of the colonial rule by Japan after the war.
