Kim Satkat

Japanese: 金サッカ - きんサッカ（英語表記）Kim Satkat

1807‐63
A wandering poet from the late Yi Dynasty of Korea. He was nicknamed Kim Sakka (Golden Hat) because he wandered around the country wearing a satkat hat. His real name was Kim Byeong-yeon. His poems were often unconventional, mixing Hangeul, making full use of on-the-spot and kun-yin plays, and skillfully linking the superficial meaning of the words with the hidden meaning when read aloud. At times he harshly mocked the yangban class and social authority, and at other times he humorously lamented the poor lives of the common people. It is said that this critical spirit came from the fact that his grandfather defected to the peasant army during the Hong Gyeong-rae Rebellion, and that his family was blocked from success.

朝鮮，李朝末期の放浪詩人。笠satkatをかぶり全国を流浪したので金サッカ(金笠)とよばれる。本名は金炳淵。彼の詩はハングルをまじえたり，音と訓を使って掛けことばを駆使したり，文字面の表面的な意味と音で読んだときの裏の意味を巧みに結びつけたりした破格の詩が多く，ときに両班（ヤンバン）階級と社会的権威をしんらつに嘲笑し，またときに民衆の貧しい生活をユーモアまじりに嘆いている。こうした批判精神は，祖父が洪景来の反乱で農民軍にくだったところから，一族が出世の道をとざされていたことに由来するといわれる。
