100 years of zainichi experience in Osaka
Cho Bak is an Osaka-based musician, actor and social activist. A second-generation Zainichi Korean, in his song-writing, performances and publications he has advocated the rights of resident Koreans and other minorities such as Ainu, burakumin and the disabled. He will talk about the Korean community in Osaka’s Ikuno Ward (in particular, the enclave named Ikaino until 1973), and perform songs that reflect experiences of Koreans in Japan over the last one hundred years.
