There is a wide gap of understanding modern history of East Asia by Koreans and Japanese people. It sometimes prevents two contries from improving the relationship. The aim of the present paper is to clarify such a gap in order to open the mutual educational horizon. The focus is a gap of understanding the separation and reunification of Korean Peninsula. The author summarizes recent surveys on mutual recognition between the two contries. Japanese indifference and ignorance of history and Koreans misperception were analized. By pointing out both Japan's and Korea's responsibility in the separation of Korean Peninsula, the present paper proposes the Japan's task and role for the reunification of North and South Korea to establish the peace of East Asia.
