[KS] Japan, Korea and the Asia-Pacific

[caprio]

An acquaintance recently sent me the following inquiry.  If anyone 
has information
regarding it, or can offer a source that might address this issue it 
would be appreciated.

Best,

I am trying to track down a story that the Japanese had spiked 
mountainside graves of eminent Korean scholars during the Japanese 
colonization of Korea. This was done to "kill the spirits" of the 
mountain, it is said.
