Japanese in Korea
The number of Japanese living in Korea increased from 54 in 1876, the year of the opening of Korean ports, to over 750,000 in the last stages of colonial rule. Most of the population on the peninsula was Korean, but Japanese people dominated the major rights and interests of Korea as soldiers, police, government officials, businessmen, and entrepreneurs. The Japanese in Korea justified colonial activities through commemorative ceremonies or gathering with each other to recall their home country. Regardless of whether they were conscious of it or not, they supported Japanese colonial rule as “grassroots colonizers”.
