This study aims to analyze the actual conditions and characteristics of the fishing village in Ulsan, and examine how the exchanges between Japanese and Koreans were being formed even in colonies. The fishing villages in Sinam, Sejukpo, Ilsanjin, Jeonhari, and Jeongja were formed as Japanese fishermen voluntarily did migratory fishing for profit. By contrast, The fishing villages in Bangeojin and Jeonhari were built with aid grants offered to Japanese fishery businessmen from the Japanese government or prefectural (県) governments. Such villages were built as the Japanese government and prefectural governments intended to colonize Joseon by expanding their fishery bases in the land and ruling the coastal and offshore areas and its fishery industry. The early process of the colonization of Joseon was confirmed through migrant fishing villages as organizations such as the Association of Japanese People formed in Bangeojin gave the Japanese the privilege to be engaged in commerce in Joseon and supported Japanese settlers, groups, and organizations that aided in the colonization.
