海と共に暮してきた日本人には、サメは特別な存在であったと思われるが、こうしたサメに対する認識は、日本の神話と伝説を伝える『古事記』と『日本書紀』、そして『風土記』におけるサメのエピソードによく現れている。そして韓国の東海と面している日本の山陰地方には、サメに関わる様々な神話や伝説及びサメを使った多様な料理が今まで伝えられている。韓半島の場合、古代韓国の神話や伝説を伝える『三国史記』と『三国遺事』にサメは登場しないが、古代韓半島、特に新羅地方にはサメに関わる特別な呪術儀式や観念が存在した。これは慶尚道地方で海岸沿いだけでなく、大邱をはじめ内陸に位置する古代新羅の遺跡発掘調査で儀式や占いに使われたサメの骨が多く出土されたことからよくわかる。現在韓国の慶尚道地方では、祭祀の時必ずサメの肉であるド厶ベギを供え、おかずとして食べられる。ところが、新羅と地理的に近い日本の山陰地方でもサメを食べている。さらに記紀神話や風土記の伝承にはアメノヒボコをはじめ、新羅人の活躍が様々な形で伝えられ、そして山陰地方に残されている新羅神社の存在からも古代新羅と日本の文化的交流と新羅人の活躍が推測できよう。
For Japanese who have lived with the sea, it seems that the shark was a special existence, but the recognition of such sharks is well depicted in 'Kojiki,' 'Nihon Shoki,' and 'Hudoky' that convey Japanese myths and legends, and it often appears in shark episodes. And in Japan’s San-in District, which is in contact with the Donhae of South Korea, various myths, legends, and diverse cuisines related to sharks have been reported so far.In the case of Korea, sharks do not appear in 'Sankokusiki' and 'Sankokuizi' that convey ancient Korean myths and legends, but in the ancient Korean peninsula, especially the Silla region, there were special magic rituals and ideas related to sharks. Anumber of shark bones used for rituals and fortune-telling were excavated not only along the coast in the Gyeongsang province but also in the excavation survey of the ancient Shilla located in the inland as well as Daegu. Currently in the Gyeongsang province of South Korea, they eat sharks as a side dish with donbe vegie which is the shark’s meat at the time of ritual. However, they also eat sharks in the San-in District of Japan which is geographically close to Shilla. In addition to the history of Kiki myths and 'Hudoky', Amenohiboko and other activities of the Shilla were conveyed in various forms, and from the existence of the Shilla Shrine left in the San-in District as well, we can estimate the cultural exchange between the ancient Shilla and Japan as well as the activity of the Shilla people.
