The Kenka gashū zu picture scroll is of great importance in analyzing the relationships between Japanese and Korean literati in the 18th century. The reason for this is that persons of letters and recorders who were Korean envoys in the Joseon mission to Japan of 1764 and the literati of Kyoto and Osaka including Kimura Kenkadō, the eminent person of literati of Osaka, socialized with each other; and commissioned and created picture scrolls amongst themselves. The Korean envoy and recorder Song Dae Jung commissioned the creation of the Kenka gashū zu to Kenkadō; and Kenkadō asked the monk Daiten Kenjō to write the letters in the title and the afterword, while seven literati from Kyoto and Osaka including Kenkadō himself contributed poetry. Using the Kenka gashū zu, this manuscript identifies the kind of literati world that the literati of both countries desired; and examines the implications held by the scroll.Firstly, I reviewed the chronology of the creation of Kenka gashū zu from records such as the Hyegūroku, and I inspected records written by the Korean literati after they had seen the Kenka gashū zu and after the Korean envoys returned to their country. Through the analysis of the pictures, Kenkadō was the name of a garden, and considering that this was another name of Kenkadō himself, I adopted the notion of the "Scroll of Another Name." I focused on its style and its relation to the Kenka gashū zu, as well as the features of the Kenka gashū zu in terms of its expression. Lastly, I suggest the possibility that the world depicted in the Kenka gashū zu is the embodiment of the paradise-on-earth co-occupied by the literati of both countries. I analyzed the actual refined gatherings, and at the same time, the idealized versions of such gatherings that occurred in the literati space, or the so-called paradise-on-earth shared by the client and creators (of the scroll). Accordingly, at the behest of the client Song Dae Jung, Kenkadō intentionally placed a peach tree in the scroll while faithfully depicting characters and places, and by doing so, this gave rise to the possibility that Kenkadō used the world in the Kenka gashū zu to resemble paradise-on-earth. In light of this, using the Kenka gashū zu, it could be said that what the literati of both countries shared (or had in common) was "hobbies or tastes of the literati." It can be said that the Kenka gashū zu has important implications as a document that explores the universality of East Asian literati culture during the mid-18th century. There is a possibility that the socializing that occurred among the literati from both countries mainly in Osaka in 1764 left us with an outcome that exceeded the work of the Korean envoys of the Joseon missions.
