Abstract: The Zainichi Korean collection is comprised of research files of Yondaru Kimu. Yondaru Kimu is a second-generation
Zainichi Korean and a researcher of modern Korean history, particularly the history of
Zainichi Koreans.
Zainichi Koreans are Korean migrants and their descendants from Joseon who have historical roots in the Japan-Korea annexation of
1910-1945 and reside in Japan with the special permanent resident status. The subject of his research files covers Zainichi
Koreans' ethnic conflicts in the 1970s and 1980s. The collection also contains materials on the same subject collected by
the Hinode Bookstore, a Zainichi Korean bookstore in Osaka, Japan.
Language of Material: The materials in this collection are in Japanese.
The Zainichi Korean collection is organized into two series: The Kimu (Yondaru) papers and the Hinode Bookstore collection.
The Kimu (Yondaru) papers are arranged alphabetically by title, hand-written by Yondaru Kimu on his research binders, and
by subject for unbound papers.
The Hinode Bookstore collection is arranged first, by material type, and second, by subject for ephemera and clippings, and
by author for newsletters and offprints.
The Zainichi Korean collection is comprised of newspaper clippings and journal articles collected by Yondaru Kimu during the
course of his research on Zainichi Koreans in the 1970s and 1980s. The collection also includes handbills and newsletters
created by Zainichi Koreans from the 1960s through the 1980s collected and donated by the Hinode Bookstore, from which USC
acquired Kimu’s files.
