Arai Hakuseki (1657-1725) was an Edo-period Confucian scholar. He was involved with politics as a Confucian scholar during the time of Tokugawa Ienobu, and known for having effected various political reformations. In particular, he sought to establish equal diplomatic relations with Korea and revised the reception of the Korean emissaries. It is necessary to realize that this decision was not made with sufficient negotiation between the two countries, but rather something Hakuseki forcibly established on his own. Naturally, the records of the Korean emissaries contain entries in which Hakuseki is harshly criticized, which in turn reflect the historical background of the Korean intelligentsia's attitude towards Japan at this time. This research explores the Korean awareness of Hakuseki, its formation, and if it changed over time primarily through Korean documents.
