Research Abstract	The aims of this study is to research the existing ghost marriage and shamanism among the Korean in Japan. The fieldwork was basically conducted in Osaka (Ikoma), Hyogo (Takarazuka), Nagoya (Kasugai) and Tokyo (Arakawa) from July 1998 to February 1999. As a result it has been verified that the shaman-based marriage (ghost marriage) has been inherited from Peninsula to Japan by Korean emigrants to Japan.
