Many people from the Korean peninsula, which had been stripped of its national rights by colonial policy, crossed the sea with just a pottari (furoshiki wrapping). People have persevered and survived without losing their sense of humor despite the hardships caused by the structures of colonial rule that permeated every corner of their lives, as well as poverty and discrimination that continued even after liberation. This book was created by a group researching the lives of Showa era people, and contains valuable materials including interviews and written notes about the “life” of Koreans living in Japan, such as food, clothing, shelter, childbirth, weddings, funerals, rituals (chesa), entertainment, education, occupations, etc. It was dug up and put together. These are words that first-generation Japanese residents often say in their daily lives. 먹고 살아야지 (I have to eat) 도와 주어야지 (I have to help you) 배워야지 (I have to learn [history]) 근본을 알아야 한다 (You have to know the roots)
