The Significance of Hong Sung-won’s Novel However By Shinfune Kaisaburo on Nov 09 2014 02:01:06 Vol.9 Autumn 2010 されど (However) Hong Sung-won Japan Honnoizumi 2010 However, a novel by the late Hong Sung-won, was published in Japan in April, marking the second anniversary of his death. The novel depicts a character that staged a fight against imperialist Japanese to secure independence for Korea but later betrayed his own country and led a shameful life. The novel chronicles the miserable life of the turncoat and the tragic life of his descendants. The editor who helped publish the Japanese edition explains the significance of the novel. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Japanese annexation of Korea. A turning point in Japanese history, various attempts to re-examine the relationship between Korea and Japan once again are appearing in a variety of forms such as publications, symposiums, or special TV and newspaper reports. Looking back at Japanese modernization and the neighboring countries plundered in the process (the Japanese took over the Korean peninsula, Taiwan, and northeast China, and founded a puppet country, Manchuria) is an important exercise not just in learning from past mistakes, but in looking to the past to understand where Japan is today.
