This article explores a theoretical possibility of subsuming the anti-Japanese violent actions, dared by the Korean anarchists mainly in China and Japan between 1920s and 1930s, into the historical context of “Eui-yeol-tujaeng”(Justice-and-blood struggle), a Korean indigenous terminology. For it, the author attempts to reconsider various aspects, characteristics and historical meanings of those actions, bearing in mind someone else’s such and such conceptualization of the “anarchist direct actions” as a completely terroristic activity, which is utterly focused on the aspect of their high-level violence. Thus the author carried out overall investigation into the Korean anarchists’ revolutionary action line and its organizational practices along with the three phases of arousal, transition and termination. Through broad exploration into documents and textual resources, he came to recognize and confirm various features and characters corresponding to Eui-yeol-tujaeng among their activities, even to extract their historical significances. Several findings in this paper can be summarized as follows. Some noteworthy events or action patterns around Korean anarchists’ activities were almost identical with assassinate-and-blast movement which many of revolutionary nationalists had often undertook. So it cannot be denied that the boundary and properties of the former had something in common with the latter’s so called Eui-yeol-tujaeng. Also from the objective point of view or in consequence, anarchists’ actions of assassination and blasting were broadly and deeply related, relevant and devotional to national independence movement, regardless of subjective motives or causes. In this sense, we can say that “Anarchist Eui-yeol-tujaeng” was certainly formed and existent as a historical category. This means that some unique characteristics different from or going beyond those of terror were contained in anarchists’ assassination-and-blasting actions. Finally, it is important that we should not look back at the past only with an one-sided eyes absolutely oriented to successful cases, in relation to evaluation of the achievements and limits of Anarchist Eui-yeol-tujaeng.
