In Japan, the establishment of the modern science of history that advocates the cause of positivism has played a significant role in increasing interest in Korean history. Chosenshi (Korean History), written by Hayashi Taisuke from a Korean perspective, is one of the earliest studies of its kind, providing a new style of historical description. The book was translated into the Korean language and published by Hyon Chae under the title DongGookSaRyak. However, Chosenshi became a target for harsh criticism from Korean thinkers of that time who advocated nationalism. In the study of Korean history, in which a major challenge was to overcome the historical perspective of colonization after Korea's decolonization, Chosenshi was criticized for being filled with a "historical perspective of colonization," rather than praised as the establishment of a modern history description. In South Korea today, however, Chosenshi has recently drawn renewed attention in discussions regarding "historical description." A look at the history of the acceptance of Chosenshi shows how the book has raised various questions, including arguments about the results of studies on ancient history in South Korea.
