In the process of restoring diplomatic relations with Japan after the Imjin War, the Treaty of Giyu was signed in 1609. At this time, Japanese envoys who traveled regularly once a year for the purpose of diplomacy and commerce were called Yeonryesongsa(Japanese envoys in one year). In this study, the basic rules and regulations of Yeonryesongsa focused on the communication and consultation process to solve the disputes and disputes after the establishment. In the process of recovering the relationship between Joseon and Japan after the Imjin War, the suspension of the Yeonryesongsa caused by the Tongsinsa(通信使) was not normalized. It was after Waegwan moved to Choryang that it became customary to suspend the Yeonryesongsa. After the Waegwan moved to Choryang, it became customary to suspend the Yeonryesongsa for the first time in 1682 when the ‘Imsul-Tongsinsa’ was first dispatched. Interpreters who were concerned about the financial burden and workload due to the Tongsinsa requested that Yeonryesongsa be suspended during the Tongsinsa’s period, and this was accepted. Meanwhile, in 1636, for the first time, the Yeonryesongsa was discontinued during the Tongsinsa’s period. When the Tongsin envoys was dispatched in 1711, there was no agreement as to whether Joseon would receive a letter discontinuing the Yeonryesongsa or send a thank-you reply to Tsushima, causing serious controversy. In this process, it became the norm to include the expression of gratitude for the temporary suspension of the Yeonryesongsa in the written message of the Segyeon-1st-Ship(The first ship sent every year) dispatched the following year.

Aino-shima in Shingu-cho, Kasuya-gun, Fukuoka Prefecture, is an island where Joseon Tongsinsa always pass and stay when they go back and forth, and the Fukuoka Domain responded. Inside the island, remains related to the envoys, including the remains of guesthouse, some of which have been designated as cultural properties of Shingu-cho as “the remains related to the Joseon Tongsinsa” On October 31, 2017, Fukuoka Prefecture conducted a systematic investigation into document records related to the Kuroda family of the Fukuoka domain and the Ogasawara family of the Kokura domain, and conducted a field survey related to the Joseon envoy, such as the dock and watchtower site. In this report, the results of the “Comprehensive Survey on the Korean Communications Commission” conducted by Fukuoka Prefecture are mainly based on the on-site survey of the remains conducted in Aino-shima.

The purpose of this paper was to examine the characteristics of the recontextualization of knowledge in the perspective of intellectual history, focusing on the Japan section of Choi Han-gi's Jigujeonyo (地球典要). Through this attempt, the influence of the Japan studies triggered by the 1764 Tongsinsa (the delegation to Japan) on the terrain of late Joseon knowledge was explored. When summarizing the characteristic aspects of knowledge reception regarding Japan, with the Japan section of Jigujeonyo from the 19th century serving as the focal point, several points emerge. Firstly, Choi Han-gi mainly cited contemporary sources such as Haiguotuzhi and Ying huan zhi lue, but for the Japan section, most of the content was derived from Haeyurok by Shin Yu-han of the 1719 Tongsinsa. Secondly, Choi Han-gi adopted Wei Yuan’s method of classifying regions based on the Chinese seas but organized the details of each country’s entry from the perspective of Qi-Study by Choi Han-gi himself. Thirdly, Choi Han-gi recontextualized Haeyurok by simplifying and clarifying the content to reconstruct it more systematically, deleting unreliable information and subjective evaluations to provide an objective description, and supplementing information related to latitude based on geography and maps in the case of climate. Fourthly, while Choi Han-gi had exchanges with Lee Gyu-gyeong and showed interest in Lee Deok-Moo’s scholarship, he did not cite the Japan studies of Won Jung-geo and Lee Deok-Moo in Jigujeonyo. The systematization of knowledge is practiced through collection, comparison, editing, criticism, and summarization, and only after this process is completed does it become “knowledge” to be utilized. The purpose of refining knowledge from the perspective of intellectual history is to harmonize or adapt it to existing academic categories for circulation in contemporary society. Despite considering the incomplete nature of Won Jung-geo’s Hwagukji, Lee Deok-Moo’s Cheongryeonggukji actively utilized Hwagukji as a citation source and selected, summarized, edited, and completed the research by comparing various works and organizing their contents into sections. However, the reason why 18th-century research works did not make it to the citation list when 19th-century Joseon’s intellectuals wrote world geography books might be related not only to the interest in new knowledge but also to the conservatism of Noble Families in seoul, which was not open to public discourse due to the hierarchy and taboo of Neo-Confucianism. The discovery of Japan as an object of objective perception by two intellectuals from the Seo-eol class was a functional intellectual activity aimed at renewing self-awareness through interest in the other. However, their knowledge remained confined within the pages of their books without being disseminated and could not transcend the conceptual dimension due to the loss of practicality.

Museums had no original materials at all at the time of opening, reproductions of Joseon Tongsinsa materials and videos were made with the consent of the owner for the exhibition.In particular, one of the purposes of the installation was to understand and disseminate the records of Joseon envoys registered in UNESCO’s Memories of the World, so many copies of the registered composition materials are made and exhibited. However, collection of original materials is essential to the survival of museums and historical museums, and exhibitions based on research and study of collected materials are fundamental factors that enhance the significance of the museum’s existence. Furthermore, the excavation of new materials by the Korean Communications Commission after UNESCO’s “Memories of the World” registration is also considered an important factor in deepening research. The materials introduced in this article are all new materials that have not been released until now except for a few items, and many of them are of comparable value to UNESCO’s “Memories of the World.” The Tsushima Museum will continue to collect data on the entire history of exchanges between Korea and Japan, including the Joseon envoys, and the Tsushima Chosun envoys’ history museum will make efforts to gradually shift the exhibition from reproduction to original materials.

In the first half of the 18th century, Niwa Teiki(丹羽貞 機)was involved in the creation of the 『YagJaeJilJeongGisa(藥 材質正紀事)』 as the chief investigator of research and writing as the Japanese medical officer for the 10th Mujin(戊辰) of the Jo-seon Tongsin mission. Although the two documents had a common purpose of researching Jo-seon-centered products, each had its own unique characteristics. 『YagJaeJilJeongGisa(藥材質正紀事)』 Considering the attitude of medicinal material quality regulators who ask questions to confirm the identity of medicinal materials and leave pictures of the actual items, it reflects the trade situation at the time to open up a new route for medicinal material imports that used to depend on China and Jo-seon. This is a plan to reduce errors and accurately import medicinal materials before diversifying trade routes. In addition, it is a natural history characteristic that led to 『SeoMulRyuChan(庶物類纂)』 by Niwa Teiki(丹羽貞機). It can be said that Niwa Teiki(丹羽貞機), with the help of the Jo-seon Tongsin mission, created the to identify the true nature of Jo-seon special products that were difficult to research and to promote the spread of knowledge. In addition, its realization was possible because a competent scholar such as Koshi Tsuneemon(越常右衛門) participated in and supported the investigation of 『YagJaeJilJeongGisa(藥材質正紀事)』. This expansion of knowledge is due to the fact that 『Yag aeJilJeongGisa(藥材質正紀事)』 for accumulating knowledge related to medicinal materials and for identification of local products are materials with continuity. First, the literary significance of 『YagJaeJilJeongGisa(藥材質 正紀事)』 and can be found in the fact that the two materials are important as recorded literature. Second, it has major value as a linguistic and literary material that enables mutual research between the names of things in Northeast Asia through the Chinese character names of things in East Asia in the 18th century.

The Joseontonsinsa in the late Joseon period brought a letter of state from the King of Joseon to the Tokugawa Shogun, along with an annex containing a list of courtesies to the Shogun, his successor, and Ogosyo (Retired Shogun), including ramie cloth, ginseng, tiger skin, hawks, and horses. Of these, the hawk and horse were considered symbols of authority, and it is thought that they became courtesies in combination with the Shogun's preferences. Therefore, it can be assumed that the negotiation of the hawk and horse by the Tsushima domain is a matter related to the Shogun's authority, and must be considered as a matter related to the prestige of the Tsushima domain, whose family role is diplomatic service between Japan and the Joseon. In addition, it is significant to clarify the transportation system of the Tsushima domain, the support system for the transportation by the feudal lords by sea and land, and the cooperation between the Tsushima domain and the feudal lords to clarify the whole picture of the transportation of the hawks and horses. From this perspective, previous studies have only partially clarified the details, such as the verification of the transportation by sea in “Ushimado Town History” and the analysis of the personnel composition related to transporting hawks by land by Hiroshi Nakao. This article focuses on Tsushima’s negotiations regarding hawks and horses, as well as the movements of the Tsushima domain and its officials in transporting hawks from Busan to Edo, centering on the Joseontonsinsa of 1711. As a result, it was revealed that the negotiation between hawks and horses was made upon the request of Tsushima Domain based on precedent and shogunate’s intention. It was also confirmed that the support system for the transportation was prepared based on the information provided by the Tsushima domain, and that the hawks and horses traveled along the same route as the Joseontonsinsa both by sea and land. In addition, the sea route and the land route traveled the same route as the carrier of the Joseontonsinsa, who was in charge of the transfer. Moreover, it was also revealed that the hawks transferred to Edo were selected by the shogunate officials as gifts to the shogunate. This trend, where the Tsushima Domain and its officers supported the shogunate authority, significantly contributed to the stability of the Japanese-Joseon relationship.

In order to find a typical example of literary exchange between Joseon and Japan that took place in the wake of the dispach og Tongsinsa, this study targeted the envoy trip in 1763, when the greatest number of people exchanged, and traced conversations with literary figures of Rin-ke, a family related to the Edo Shogunate. 『Kankanshowa(韓館唱和)』 edited by Rin-ke exemplifies the formal exchange of writers from both countries. First, a basic sense of solidarity as Confucian scholars was formed between them in that they admired Confucianism. Second, despite equal exchanges, their pride in their respective countries is being revealed. Third, even in a friendly atmosphere, a tense relationship is formed in which one must be wary of the other party. Looking at the literary exchanges between the two countries, it can be confirmed that the two countries maintained friendly relations and aimed for peace.

This article is a study on the exchange of Joseon Tongsinsa paintings seen through Lee Won-chan’s tiger paintings. Lee Won-chan’s works, known as active painters in the middle of the Joseon Dynasty, are all tiger paintings. Lee Won-chan’s “Tiger Painting” is currently housed in the National Maritime Museum in Busan, Japan’s Osaka History Museum, and the National Asian Art Museum in Berlin, Germany. Lee Won-chan’s full-fledged research began in 2021. The research conducted is a research company centered on tiger figures, and this author's research is about the background surrounding tigers. Lee Won-chan’s “Tiger Painting” is divided into two types depending on the background. They include a domestic collection of tigers roaring in the background of landscape paintings, and a Japanese and German collection of tigers alone without a background. This paper focused on the single composition applied to the tiger painting drawn by Lee Won-chan. The composition of Lee Won-chan's Tiger Painting, which depicts animals, not portraits of people, is a unique and special aspect. This article examined a new type of tiger, Lee Won-chan’s single compositional painting, which appeared in the 17th century, along with the work of Joseon Tongsinsa.
