Korean-Japanese Reconciliation Movement

Japanese: 内鮮融和運動 - ないせんゆうわうんどう

After the Japan-Korea Annexation, a reconciliation movement was carried out with the aim of making Koreans into Imperial subjects, i.e. Japanese (domestic) subjects, based on the Imperial Rescript on Annexation. In particular, after the March 1st Independence Movement of 1919, the goal of "assimilation" was developed, but the reconciliation between Korea and Japan was proposed under Governor-General Ugaki Kazunari (September 1931 - August 1936) in the wake of the Manchurian Incident. Later, as the Second Sino-Japanese War expanded, Governor-General Minami Jiro of Korea adopted the slogan "Japan and Korea as one" in order to mobilize Koreans, and the policy of making Koreans into Imperial subjects was strengthened, a typical example of which was the creation of surnames and changing of names in 1940. Against the backdrop of these policies in Korea, various reconciliation movements between Korea and Japan were developed in Japan in response to the sudden increase in the number of Koreans living in Japan.

Japanese:

日韓併合後，併合の詔書を前提に朝鮮人の皇民化＝日本人化(内地人化)を図る目的で行われた融和運動。とくに1919年の三･一独立運動後に“同化”を目標に展開されたが，内鮮融和は満州事変を契機に宇垣一成総督下(1931年9月‐36年8月)に提唱された。その後，日中戦争の拡大下で，朝鮮人を動員するため南次郎朝鮮総督は内鮮一体をスローガンとして掲げ，皇民化政策が強化され，その典型が40年の創氏改名であった。　こうした朝鮮における施策を背景に，日本国内でも在日朝鮮人の急激な増加に対応し，各種の内鮮融和運動が展開された。
