Stay in Japan for a while and get to know the place, or at least check out some expat bloggers there. It's freakin' different from what you perceive of it. #27

I'm looking for it at the school library. In either case, I really doubt the whole tea thing was mentioned for no other purpose than ‘Here’s a fun factoid’.

You don't need any academic research on these two,since they said so themselves. Anyway,I've never heard that version of "That great Japanese figure is actually a Korean in origin". “Would these same scholars deny Masutatsu Oyama and Masayoshi Son’s Korean heritage if they could get away with it intellectually?”

Would these same scholars deny Masutatsu Oyama and Masayoshi Son's Korean heritage if they could get away with it intellectually? Unless you are Ainu, most Japanese have peninsular roots. It's just the degree that differs. Which Japanese scholars would find it ridiculous and why would they find it so?

What does the book cite for the source? I checked Japanese sources, but no information about him being of Korean descent. His family name is actually "Tanaka", and "Sen" he named himself. Some Japanese sources say his teahouse has Korean influences, which is not a surprise where you have "Korean Gate" style in Samurai castles. Also that his tea-ware was made by an artisan of Korean descent. I think someone expanded this information which evolved into an urban legend in Korea. #20:
