1965년 한일협정 체제의 역사적·법적 조명과 보완 방향
Historical and Legal Reviews of the 1965 Korea-Japan Agreement System and How to Improve It Since its conclusion in 1965, the Korea-Japan Agreement has functioned as the legal foundation for the bilateral relations over the past fifty years. And it will continue to do so for years to come. Aside from its merits and demerits that may be reviewed from different angles, the Korea-Japan Agreement of 1965 is a historical record consisting of legal documents. Therefore, I think it worthwhile to review the Agreement with historical and legal interpretations.It is said that history is "an unending dialogue between the present and the past." In studying history, therefore, it is necessary to interpret the historical facts of yesterday from the perspective of today while examining their causal relationship. To confirm the causal relationship between the Korea-Japan Agreement of 1965 and our reality today, the Korea-Japan Agreement system needs to be analyzed empirically and assessed objectively in terms of its impact on security and economic development in Korea over the past fifty yea

2015 Excavation of the Yeomju Fortress of Balhae in Kraskino"The excavation of the Yeomju Fortress is a milestone for the excavation of Balhae sites in East Asia" Since its establishment in 2006, the Northeast Asian History Foundation has carried out annual excavation projects for the Yeomju Fortress of Balhae in Kraskino, jointly with the Russian Institute of History, Archeology, and Ethnology of Peoples of the Far East. Located in the southern tip of present-day Primorsky Krai in Russia, Kraskino is where Korean settlers formed a village in the late 19th century. At that time, this village was called Yenchu or Yeonchu, until it was renamed Kraskino after Russia's advance into the East. The name 'Yenchu' is derived from 'Yeomju (鹽州),' one of the sixty-two provinces of Balhae, which was the gateway to the Silla Road (新羅道) and the Japan Road (日本道). Presently, Yeomju is a flatland fortress about 1.2 kilometers in circumference, located where Tsukanovka, i.e. the Yeomju River, streams into the Posyet Bay. On July 15, 2015, two days after arrival at the Kraskino village, we held a groundbreaking ceremony of offering to the spirits of our ancestors,

독립운동가이자 진정한 혁명가 신채호
Shin Chae-ho, a True Revolutionary Who Also Fought for Korean Independence Danjae Shin Chae-ho (1880-1936) is said to have met a very important turning point in his thought and national movement when he embraced anarchism. As he witnessed the people's power demonstrated through the March 1st Movement of 1919, he recognized the people as an agent of historical change. As an advocate of achieving absolute independence directly through a popular revolution, he saw anarchism as the right thought for that purpose and embraced it as such. In about 1923, he declared himself to be an anarchist. That year, he drafted the Declaration of Korean Revolution, also known as the Declaration of Righteous Brotherhood, which is said to signify his beginning as an anarchist. That Danjae was an anarchist is evident from his essays and literary works published after that. Embracing Anarchism as Voluntary Change of Ideology and Methodology for IndependenceBut describing Shin Chae-ho as an anarchist still tends to be avoided or considered bad. His embrace of anarchism is even denoun

Shosoin: Its History and Treasures The History and Treasures of Shosoin, an Ancient Time Capsule Recently, the NAHF published a Korean translation of Shosoin: Its History and Treasures (Chukoshinsho (中公新書), 2008) by Sugimoto Kazuki (杉本一樹). If you were ever curious about Shosoin (正倉院), the treasure house of Japan, this is the book to read, for it shows Shosoin's collection of treasures at a glance, and provides a systematic summary of how the ancient artifacts and documents came to be collected and stored in a single place, how they are preserved and maintained, where the artifacts came from, and how they are studied, and so on. The author of this book is an expert who knows Shosoin better than anyone else, having spent over thirty years of his career at Shosoin alone. Currently, he is the director of Shosoin.

경복궁 내 곤령합, 옥호루 건청궁의 비극, 조선을 휘감은 어두운 그림자
Gonnyeonghab and Okhoru within Gyeongbok Palace The Tragedy in Geoncheonggung That Foreshadowed Korea's Dark Future ▲ Okhoru of Gyeongbok Palace    (Courtesy of the Independence Hall of Korea)On sunny fall weekends, Gyeongbok Palace in Seoul bustles with foreign tourists and domestic citizens enjoying their holidays. In particular, the magnificent Geunjeongjeon　(勤政殿), the first structure past the Gwanghwamun Gate, and the elegant Gyeonghoeru (慶會樓) are beautiful photo spots always attracting a crowd. But I wonder how many in the crowd are aware of the tragic event in Korean history that unfolded in the northern end of this palace. In 1873, King Gojong ordered the construction of a 250-unit, gentry-house-style complex deep inside Gyeongbok Palace. Geoncheonggung (乾淸宮), as this complex was known, its name signifying the clear sky, had a number of annexes, including a detached house known as Jangandang and the main building named Gonnyeonghab. In 1884, King Gojong moved into Geoncheonggung, where he had Korea's first electric power lines installed in 1887. Unlike the meaning of the name of Geoncheonggun
