   Abstract = {An increasing number of recent scholars have challenged the
             narrative of Korean Buddhism as persecuted, isolated, and
             debased under the Neo-Confucian orthodoxy of the Chosǒn
             dynasty (1392-1910). These scholars have revealed the
             continued support from both the state and Confucian
             aristocrats afforded to Buddhism; the friendship between
             yangbans and monastics; and the recognition of monastics'
             role in Chosǒn society. While these insights provide a
             welcome nuance to a consideration of the period, it should
             be also recognized that the anti-Buddhist paradigm was a
             pervasive norm at the state and local levels throughout the
             Chosǒn era. The perception that Buddhism was heretical and
             that monastics were socially inferior was so deeply
             ingrained in the minds of aristocrats and the populace for
             so long that monastics developed a sense of collective
             trauma. This article revisits the vicissitudes of Chosǒn
             Buddhism by considering an incident that took place in the
             1930s in colonial Korea. This case will help scholars of
             Korean history and Buddhism understand how colonial-period
             monastics acted from the trauma of the anti-Buddhist
             paradigm of the Chosǒn dynasty.},

   Abstract = {This article examines the history of the villages of lay
             monks (chaegasŭng) near North Korea’s northernmost
             border. These communities had been ignored for centuries
             until they suddenly became the object of scholarly and
             public attention when Korea fell under Japanese colonial
             rule (1910–1945). The men of the villages were called
             “lay monks.” They shaved their heads, had wives and
             children, and had more than one ethnic identity. Despite the
             sizable number of lay monk villages in this region, their
             long history and, more importantly, their monastic identity
             and Buddhist lifestyle, narratives about these communities
             are almost absent in the historiography of Korean Buddhism.
             The absence of a written history is ascribed to that
             historiography’s privileged focus on the influential
             figures, doctrines, texts, and schools that contributed to
             the protection of the state. Colonial experiences and
             national divisions have reinforced these elite- and
             nation-centered narratives about Korean Buddhism to the
             exclusion of its more pluralistic, local dimensions on the
             periphery. If the history of these lay monk communities is
             understood within the context of Chosŏn Buddhism
             (1392–1910) placed under the Neo-Confucian hegemony of the
             Chosŏn dynasty, then clearly the existence of these
             communities is not an anomaly developed independently, but
             instead is an integral part of Korean Buddhism.},

             Buddhist Leadership in Colonial Korea (1910–1945)},

   Year = {2014},
   Month = {December},
   Abstract = {One of the key characteristics of Buddhism during the late
             nineteenth century through the first half of the twentieth
             century was the rise of lay leadership in all aspects of
             Buddhist tradition. East Asian Buddhism was no exception to
             this trend, but the ways, degree, and timing in which this
             modern phenomenon manifested itself varied, especially in
             the case of Korean Buddhism, which saw a late arrival of lay
             leadership. This article addresses the question of why lay
             Buddhism struggled to emerge as a strong force in Korea
             compared to China and Japan. Without a doubt, colonialism
             was a key factor. Japanese rule disrupted the development of
             the Korean Buddhist sangha. However, another key factor that
             has been underestimated in the historiography of Korean
             Buddhism is that Korean monks were socially stigmatized
             during the colonial period (1910–1945). The rhetoric of
             stigmatism was so ubiquitous in the personal writings of
             monks and lay people, as well as in journals and newspapers
             in colonial Korea, that it begs a closer analysis to
             determine a correlation between the perception of monks in
             society at this time and its influence on the development of
             lay Buddhism in Korea. Thus, I would like to provide a
             preliminary explanation of this correlation by highlighting
             three interrelated aspects of Korean monastics in colonial
             Korea: (1) the stigmatization imposed on Korean monastics
             during the Neo-Confucian Joseon dynasty; (2) the persistence
             of these stigmas in the minds of Koreans; and (3) their
             internalization among Korean monastics themselves.},

             will challenge the widely accepted, yet one-dimensional,
             image of Paek as a staunch nationalist and argue that he
             prioritized his modern Buddhist vision over the
             allencompassing, nationalist goal, and thus was willing to
             curry favor with the politically and religiously powerful
             Abe Mitsuie. In a desperate effort to unify Korean Buddhism
             under the Imje Zen lineage, Paek deemed Abe an ally and
             approached him to seek influence on the colonial government
             in favor of Paek's version of institutional reform. The fact
             that Paek sought political favors from Abe not only
             contradicts the immaculate nationalist status devoutly
             attributed to him by some scholars of modern Korean
             Buddhism, but also attests to the complex colonial realities
             that prompted Koreans and Japanese alike to employ multiple
             visions and identities, including religious, around which
             they could build personal and group networks. Equally
             importantly, their collaboration also reflects a larger
             religious landscape of colonial Korea in which Zen Buddhism
             emerged as a modern, alternative religion for Japan and
             Korea.},

   Abstract = {Empire of the Dharma explores the dynamic relationship
             between Korean and Japanese Buddhists in the years leading
             up to the Japanese annexation of Korea. Conventional
             narratives cast this relationship in politicized terms, with
             Korean Buddhists portrayed as complicit in the “religious
             annexation” of the peninsula. However, this view fails to
             account for the diverse visions, interests, and strategies
             that drove both sides. Hwansoo Ilmee Kim complicates this
             politicized account of religious interchange by reexamining
             the “alliance” forged in 1910 between the Japanese Soto
             sect and the Korean Wonjong order. The author argues that
             their ties involved not so much political ideology as mutual
             benefit. Both wished to strengthen Buddhism’s precarious
             position within Korean society and curb Christianity’s
             growing influence. Korean Buddhist monastics sought to
             leverage Japanese resources as a way of advancing themselves
             and their temples, and missionaries of Japanese Buddhist
             sects competed with one another to dominate Buddhism on the
             peninsula. This strategic alliance pushed both sides to
             confront new ideas about the place of religion in modern
             society and framed the way that many Korean and Japanese
             Buddhists came to think about the future of their shared
             religion.},

   Abstract = {One of the most infamous events in modern Japanese and
             Korean Buddhist history was the alliance attempted between
             the Japanese Sōtōshū(Sōtō Sect) and the Korean
             Wŏnjong(Complete Sect) in late 1910, forty six days after
             Japan annexed Korea. The Japanese Buddhist priests involved
             have been characterized as colonialists and imperialists
             trying to conquer Korean Buddhism on behalf of their
             imperial government while the Korean monks orchestrating the
             initiative have been cast as traitors, collaborators, and
             sellers of Korean Buddhism. All the key figures-Takeda
             Hanshi(1863-1911), Yi Hoegwang(1862-1933), clergy from the
             Wŏnjong and Sōtōshū, and colonial government
             officials-are portrayed in historiographies as villains. But
             the politicized narrative of the alliance has neglected two
             crucial points among others. First, behind Yi and Takeda was
             a bilingual Korean monk named Kim Yŏnggi(1878-?) who played
             a key role in this movement. Second, the Sōtōshū was not
             enthusiastic about the alliance, which, thirdly, reveals
             that Takeda’s vision for the alliance was at odds with
             that of the heads of his sect. This article draws upon these
             two findings in overlooked primary sources-about the
             influential players, the Japanese and Korean sects’
             conflicted motives, and the governments’ responses-to draw
             out the complex power relationships and discourses
             surrounding the attempted alliance.},

   Abstract = {One of the most infamous events in modern Japanese and
             Korean Buddhist history was the alliance attempted between
             the Japanese Sotoshu(Soto Sect) and the Korean
             Wonjong(Complete Sect) in late 1910, forty six days after
             Japan annexed Korea. The Japanese Buddhist priests involved
             have been characterized as colonialists and imperialists
             trying to conquer Korean Buddhism on behalf of their
             imperial government while the Korean monks orchestrating the
             initiative have been cast as traitors, collaborators, and
             sellers of Korean Buddhism. All the key figures-Takeda
             Hanshi(1863-1911), Yi Hoegwang(1862-1933), clergy from the
             Wonjong and Sotoshu, and colonial government officials-are
             portrayed in historiographies as villains. But the
             politicized narrative of the alliance has neglected two
             crucial points among others. First, behind Yi and Takeda was
             a bilingual Korean monk named Kim Yonggi(1878-?) who played
             a key role in this movement. Second, the Sotoshu was not
             enthusiastic about the alliance, which, thirdly, reveals
             that Takeda’s vision for the alliance was at odds with
             that of the heads of his sect. This article draws upon these
             two findings in overlooked primary sources-about the
             influential players, the Japanese and Korean sects’
             conflicted motives, and the governments’ responses-to draw
             out the complex power relationships and discourses
             surrounding the attempted alliance.},

   Abstract = {Was the work of Japanese Buddhist missionaries “evil,”
             as many historians have indicated? To problematize this
             view, this article revisits the most vilified of Japanese
             Buddhist missionaries of the pre-colonial and colonial
             period (1877– 1945). Takeda Hanshi (1863–1911) was both
             a staunch imperialist and a Soto Buddhist priest. His infamy
             in politics derives from his participation in the
             assassination of the queen of Korea and enabling Japan’s
             annexation of Korea. For Buddhists, he is the mastermind
             behind the Soto sect’s attempt to control Korean Buddhism
             through an alliance with its first modern institution, the
             Wonjong. Scholars have focused on these three events, thus
             reinforcing the view that Takeda was the epitome of Japanese
             imperial aggression. However, a close examination of
             Takeda’s writings from 1907 to 1911 sheds new light on his
             missionary work. I argue that despite his imperial ideology,
             Takeda made strenuous efforts, until 1910, to promote the
             Wonjong and defend its autonomy. Based on overlooked primary
             sources, this article presents a case study that furthers
             recent scholarly calls to move beyond the imperialist/victim
             or hero/traitor framing of colonial Korean Buddhist
             history.},
