This paper consider about the truth and the fiction which appeared in myth of Korea and Japan. The case of Japan, 『Kojiki』 and 『Nihonsyoki』 describe to the justice of imperial establishment. But the way of description appeared 『Kojiki』 and 『Nihonsyoki』 is different. Of course the way gained from association waith China, which called ｢sakuhou｣. At that time, East Asia formed under the Sinocentrism. So Japan imitate the Sinocentrism. To become the second Sinocentrism, Japan take ｢Kaya｣ and ｢Baekje｣ in their myth. In their myth these country was their tributary. Since like this world view serve for imperialism of Japan. Korea must observe the way of recognition, which Japan do through their myth. ｢Myth of Dankun｣ and ｢Myth of Gwangeto king｣ which Korea's myth, must not be disregarded for their element of fiction. The element of fiction is demanded for secure the justice of country and to emphasize the consecration.
