Within the treaties signed between Joseon and imperial powers during the modern transitional period, provisions regarding the 'death space' were included. This indicates the significance of the space of the deceased during this period, not unlike that of the living space. This paper aims to examine how groups with different cultural backgrounds in Joseon during the era of imperial dominance perceived their respective death spaces differently and how this gap created certain phenomena. Both groups had similarly negative perceptions of each other's death spaces, but Joseon's death space and culture of death were considered indicative of Joseon's backwardness. Such imperialistic perspectives or cultural prejudices ultimately facilitated the invasion of Korean death space. However, the foreign death spaces formed at a relatively rapid pace exacerbated the sense of deprivation among Koreans. These phenomena during the modern transitional period can be seen as precursory to the patterns of death space control that began in earnest during the period of Japanese colonial rule and the dissatisfaction of Koreans towards it.
