This study illuminates Japanese colonial period signboards in Gyeongseong from a visual culture perspective. First, for commercial signboards, the development of Gyeongseong commercial and signage, the design and beauty of signboards, and the modern consumer culture shown in the signboards are analyzed. Second, the images of non-business signboards in such as railway stations, schools, and institutions are examined to understand the nature of colonial modernization, including the reorganization of Gyeongseong city district, the reform of the education system, and the nationalization of major institutions. Third, the changes of the signboards at the end of the Japanese colonial period are tracked to present the impact of the war reflected in the signboards. Fourth, by making use of the negative reactions to the signboard, such as theft, damage and camouflage, the material aspects and back side roles of the signboards are also illuminated.
The streets in Gyeongseong, lined with signboards, were the scene of a visual culture that projected the appearance of modern society, where everything rapidly became semiotic. Despite the constant slippage between the signifiant and the signifié, the signs(signboards) affected on modern individual subjects as “points de caption” to provisionally stop slipping. In that temporary illusion, many elements of the modernization process were potential, including Japanese colonial capitalism, division and differences between social classes, revelation and frustration of desire, violence and camouflage etc. With the limitations of the colony, the signboards in Gyeongseong were signs of light and darkness of modernization in Korea and were places where modern visual culture was specifically expressed.
