Thus, they say things that are very soothing to the waegookins on this board. tsk, tsk, tsk... i think wangkon and bum are enough of a kyopo that

Looks like the passionate Italian side took over for a second there, ;) To me, the question is not if there are Japanese sources admitting to ancient Korean influence on Japanese culture since a lot of sources do admit it. The question to me is if it has actually affected how the average rank and file Japanese see/perceive Korea, which in my opinion it has not. Ask a Japanese academic who's a specialist on the early Yamato kingdom and he'll gush about Korean influences, ask the average Japanese college student about the same and he's more likely to think that Japan owned a colony on the southern coast of Korea before he knows what Kudara is.
