Outline of Final Research Achievements

Korean ethnic schools in Japan(Chousen Gakkou) is Japan's largest foreign school organization. Also, in the long history of more than 70 years, the Chousen Gakkou produced a large number of graduates. However, Chousen Gakkou have not been studied so much. The reason is due to the political uniqueness of the Korean school. This study focused on those who graduated from Korea school and attempted to understand their living world who lives in Japanese society after graduating from Chousen Gakkou. As a result of the research, the graduates of the Chousen Gakkou l sometimes stayed in the community of the Chousen Gakkou, but in general they lived as members of the Japanese society. In addition, some people developed learning at the Chousen Gakkou and built transnational life world.
