There is a movement to utilize Chosen Tsushinshi in local festivals in Korea and Japanrespectively, therefore to utilize it in tourism and local promotion. The fact that the records relatedChosen Tsushinshi (Joseon misshon to Japan) were applied to and registered in the 'Memory of theWorld' in October 2017 jointly with Korea and Japan is not irrelevant.In the background to actively use Chosen Tsushinshi, it is intended that Chosen Tsushinshishould be regarded as a symbol of friendship and peace between Korea and Japan. However, theemphasis on "peace" and "good diplomacy" in the Edo era can leave room to interpret the era of theJapanese Empire as heterogeneous.In this article, it is examined that how the process of establishing the Chosen Tsushinshiparade can be related through the case of the Korean residents, which originated in the imperialistera, Korean Residents Union in Japan (Mindan). Also, it is wanted to clarify the problems of theinternational exchange project which forget the memories of colonial period and imperialism.Specifically, the cases of Tsushima and Shimonoseki are adopted among the local governmentsperforming the reproduction process of Chosen Tsushinshi parades as part of the local festival.Tsushima and Shimonoseki are representative areas that have shared a strong sense ofsolidarity with Korea even after the war, during the Edo period and the imperialist era when theChosen Tsushinshi was active. But Korean residents in Japan and Mindan are not involved inthe reproduction process of Chosen Tsushinshi parade. There is no mention of the colonies in anymunicipality that wishes to use the Chosen Tsushinshi, and a procession is being made solely forthe purpose of local promotion. This means that the memories of discrimination and alienation ofKorean residents in Japan experienced during the Imperial era are being forgotten. And today, it shows that they are not subjective in the event of Chosen Tsushinshi Parades that links Korea andJapan. The Korea-Japan exchange by the Chosen Tsushinshi procession points out the problem oftoday's international exchange which is being used for the local promotion, rather than developingthe original ideology of the overcoming of the history problem and understanding of others.
