Korea during the time of enlightenment was at a loss form the surging wave of modernization. Japan that has been aiming at this chance is treating the traditional culture and spirit of Korea as 'superstition' which is the heritage of an inferior 'semi-civilized' nation under the justification called modernization as the preparation stage for forced occupation of Korea to be used for strengthening the justification of colonial domination. It could be said that Usuda is implanting an image of 'a nation where even religion is corrupt' with the description on Buddhism and Buddhist monk of Korea while covertly emphasizing the fact that Korea is a 'semi-civilized nation' believing in superstition through the folk religion of Korea. Therefore, although his record asserts as describing the truth 'as it is', it could be said that it attacks the national trait without hesitation and degrading Korea itself. Naturally, the details stating Buddhism and Buddhist monk of Korea have corrupted while Koreans are people who readily believe in superstition even I the record of personal experiences of Westerners, but it is judged that political intentions are not contained as a description without 'ill will' in all respects.
