Diplomatic relations between Korea and Japan, which weresuspended during the Japanese invasions of Korea between 1592and 1598, were normalized when the Korean side asked forprisoner repatriation after the wars were over. Tokugawa Ieyasu'sdefeat of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's government and the beginning of theEdo bakufu, with a concomitant unifi cation of political interests,contributed to restored relations. As a result, Korean delegationswere dispatched to Japan between 1607 and 1811 for a total oftwelve times.The account of their experiences in an unusual foreign countryduring an age of seclusion, "Records of Missions to Japan," werewritten by the Korean envoys dispatched to Japan. Not only aremany aspects of Edo Japan portrayed in these records, but theconcrete examples depicted in them reveal how Koreans viewedJapan at the time. In particular, after the political situation in bothcountries stabilized, the main objective of the Korean missionsbecame cultural exchanges, which receive the most focus in therecords. A large number of Korean envoys recorded accounts oftheir interactions with Japanese men of letters, including theirevaluations of the Japanese they met, their feelings toward them,etc. There are diff erences in perceptions of the Korean envoystoward the same Japanese individuals depending on the respectiveranks of the Koreans and the relationships between the envoys andthe Japanese with whom they interacted. The varying shades ofamicability are palpable in the records.The records show that the fi ercest debate occurred on the Koreanside when envoys were sent in to Japan in 1711, and Arai Hakuseki(1657-1725), a Japanese statesman, requested a change in the rules for dispatching Korean missions to Japan. The chief envoy, JoTae-eok ( 1675-1728), and his deputy envoy, Yim Su-kang ( 1665-1721), immediately directed their harshest criticism at the Tsushimagovernment offi cials who served as intermediaries, as well as atArai Hakuseki. In spite of the potential for this incident to growinto a dangerous diplomatic row for both countries, interpreter KimHyeon-mun recorded very little about this or other sensitivediplomatic negotiations.When a confl ict concerning a banquet to be held at Hōkōji, thesite of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Great Buddha, occurred in 1719, chiefenvoy Hong Chi-jung (1667-1732) sought peaceful reconciliation, butat the same time was distressed by the issue of the Seishindo.Meanwhile, even as the envoy offi cial Sin Yu-han quarreled directlywith Amenomori Hoshū (1668-1755), a Japanese interpreter andConfucian scholar, a Korean military offi cer, Jeong Hu-gyo, wrote abrief explanation concerning the Hōkōji, after which positivecritiques were made of Amenomori Hoshū and the classics.Thus, in spite of the seeming uniformity in the depictions ofenvoys' experiences in "Records of Missions to Japan," it is possibleto discern clear diff erences in the descriptions contained therein.This paper focuses on the nature of the interaction between theKorean envoys and Japanese intellectuals at the end of the Edoperiod by examining the diff erences generated by the ranks of eachenvoy and the form of interaction between the envoys and theJapanese.

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.

Hayashi family, which started from Hayashi Razan (林羅山、1583-1657), continuously served as leading delegation of Japanese intellectuals until 1811, the rupture of Japan-Korean relations. Because of being assigned for making the documents on Korean foreign policy, members of Hayashi family were frequently mentioned in Korean documents. Through closely investigating these documents, such as the Envoys travel accounts to the Japan (使行録), we could not only reveal the true state of the recognition of Korean side toward Hayashi family, but also how it changed with the Japan-Korea relations.
