As already thoroughly demonstrated on the talk page, the article is a WP:POVFORK of a whole bunch of better articles on Japanese culture that may or may not mention hypothetical Korean connections for the topics mentioned. It has stitched together a bunch of sources that either (1) present Korean connection as one (the less likely?) of several possible theories of a cultural artifact's origins, (2) are written by Korean nationalists with no training in Japanese culture, or (3) don't mention "Korean influence" at all, but refer to a Japanese-born and Japanese-raised originator, whose remote ancestors might have immigrated from the Korean Peninsula. The topics Chinese influence on Japanese culture, European influence on Japanese culture and United States influence on Japanese culture are almost certainly more notable, but we don't have articles on those topics -- or, for that matter, any other articles with titles in the form "<Country Y> influence on the culture of <Country X>" -- because such articles by definition would violate WP:WEIGHT, WP:SYNTH, WP:NPOV and more.

• Keep We have other articles of this sort and examples include Olmec influences on Mesoamerican cultures, European influence in Afghanistan, Spanish influence on Filipino culture, Islamic influences on Western art. In this case, there's an entire book on the topic and so the topic is notable. The worst case would be merger to another page such as History of Japan–Korea relations and so there's no case for deletion. Andrew (talk) 16:54, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
