Notes
1. I am thankful to Marcello Musto for his encouragement and help writing this paper. In this paper, the expression Korea is used to indicate either South Korea (Republic of Korea) or the Korean peninsula as a whole. However, North Korea (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) is always indicated as North Korea. The titles of Korean-language and Japanese-language works are given here in English.
