17~18세기 일본산 담배의 조선 유입과 그 영향

Abstract

This article examines the time and route of tobacco use in Joseon Dynasty. Next, the influence of Japanese tobacco on the development of tobacco in Joseon Dynasty was reviewed. As a result of tracking the spread of tobacco based on the previous study, it was estimated that tobacco in leaf or processed form was transmitted before 1610, and tobacco seeds were transmitted between 1614 and 1618. Of course, in some historical data remaining in Joseon Dynasty and Japan, there is a record of the possibility that tobacco was introduced before the Imjin War, but it is reasonable to assume that it was introduced in the early 17th century. As is well known, tobacco was transmitted in the form of tobacco leaves or processed products at the beginning of its introduction. Thinly sliced Japanese tobacco ‘Jisam’ introduced during this period was very popular not only in Joseon Dynasty, but also in the Qing Dynasty. In the Joseon Dynasty, Jisam was actively used in relations with the Qing Dynasty. Jisam was a high value-added product that was very popular despite its high price. For this reason, Korean Jisam, which imitates Japanese Jisam, appeared. The popularity of tobacco led to an increase in the number of tobacco-growing farms in Joseon Dynasty, and based on this, the quality of tobacco was also increased for product competitiveness. It seems clear that Japanese tobacco played a certain role in the development of tobacco in Joseon Dynasty.
