변혁기(1867-1888년) 한일관계와 표류민 송환의 변화

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the changes in the repatriation of displaced persons from the continuity of the traditional stage-transitional period-post-establishment period. The repatriation at the traditional stage was accompanied by a diplomatic ceremony with Yezo's letter and Tsushima's letter of repatriation, so the people drifted in both countries had to wait a long time before they could be repatriated. In the transitional period, the letter was lost. Accordingly, during this period, entertainment was discontinued, and the Japanese drifters were immediately handed over to the Waegwan, and as soon as a ferry was secured, they set sail. According to custom, Korea provided food until departure, and cotton and rice were provided at the time of departure. When the Korean drifters were repatriated, they were taken over by a communication company at the dock, and entertainment was omitted. The Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs treated Korean drifters more favorably than Chinese ships, such as not charging for ship repairs. It should be noted that the repatriation of the people continued during this period. With the signing of the Korea-Japan Guardian Treaty, the repatriation process has become more streamlined. In the case of Japanese drifters who landed in Korea, the repatriation process was completed by handing them over to the Waegwan Administrator. On the other hand, the repatriation of Koreans stranded in Japan was carried out in various ways. Historical records showed various repatriations, such as (a) the case of a drifter repairing the ship on his own and returning home, (b) escorting a person who had drifted elsewhere on the main ship, and (c) sending a shipwrecked drifter to Nagasaki and requesting a merchant ship (merchant ship) from there to repatriate him.
