Munwihaeng(Trip for foreign affairs for condolence) was a delegation for foreign affairs which was continued more than 260 years from 1620 till 1860 between Chosen and Japan. It was despatched to Tsushima for the purpose of condolence for withdrawal of head of Tsushima to Aedo and congratulate･expression of condolence in constitution that the interpreters became the head of delegation and led the upper･middle･low officials. It had the purpose to appease the cotton conflict until the mid of 17th century or detect the Yanagawa affairs and to respond to the sulfur trading. This article described the widened field to Munwihaeng in the course of studying the activities of Japanese-language interpreters in 17th century. The beginning of King Injo was focused out of the Munwihaeng in 17th century. The Munwihaeng was despatched to appease the unclear hand over for the accounting of cotton which was in charge of Hundo･Buylcha in Dongrae Administration at the cotton conflicts emerged or the dissatisfaction for the unpaid cotton to Tsushima. The Munwihaeng was interpreted the return after survey the environment of Tsushima before dispatching the courtesy envoy by Gae Shin Jun as an advanced system if it is considered in terms of institution. Gae Shin Jun who was a military officer and learned in the environment of Japan was appointed as a messenger also to detect the mood of Tsushima before the dispatching of the courtesy envoy in 1617. There was a case to request the assistance to Japan in case of emergency in terms of national management level. Once the silver of the Japanese Administration was borrowed to treat the messenger from Myung country during the times of King Gwanhaegun and the gift of silver received by the courtesy envoy was used for the management and construction of government. The request to Japanese Administration for the armed force was reviewed because the minion army of Gwal Lee was not protected. Even there was an opinion for sending the interpreter to Tsushima to buy the high performance Japanese firelock after the Jungmyohoran (War with Chinese in year of Jungmyo). The Munwihaeng led by interpreter was appeared at the suggestion of the cotton since King Injo as the cases of unpayment were frequent for the cotton which will be used for payment tools in the relation with Japan by Chosen. The entry to capital city by the messenger from Tsushima on 1629 was to received the lump sum payment for the cottons which were not paid during the times of King Gwanghaegun not only for the purpose of detecting the status of Chosen after the Jungmyohoran. The Injo Administration tried to soothe the dissatisfaction of Tsushima by sending the interpreter as the unpayment for the 600 Dongs of cotton was appeared. The Munwihaeng such as Ungil Hyeong and Euigil Choi went to Tsushima on 1629 to delay the payment for the 600 Dongs requested by Genpo six months ago. Also it was purposed to present the condolence for the head of island to return from Aedo. The Munwihaeng was despatched Tsushima to explain the situation for the unpayment for 600 Dongs which had been promised 2 years ago and to delay the payment for cotton of 1614. The event of delayed start due to the conflict between the head of island and Yanagawa was occurred. The Munwihaeng on 1632 was intended to present condolence the return of the head and participate to the funeral of Shogun and to detect the Yanagawa conflict. At that moment, the situation was worse to soothe the unpayment for the cotton to Tsushima side as the corresponding year portion payment for the cotton due to the bad harvest. The Munwihaeng on 1635 defended the head of island who was isolated poorly by the Yanagawa power by sending Hinam Hong and Masangjae to Aedo. Hinam Hong was conciliated or threatened in many ways, but he defended the situation of head of island always. The Munwihaeng on 1636 was despatched to celebrate the head's winning at the Yanagawa conflict in connection with the dispatching of 1 year ago. Especially, the point that the delegation of Hinam Hong finalized the negotiation system to reduce the frequency of crossing the sea by the trading ship of Tsushima at Tsushima on the way back has to be emphasized. The Yanagawa conflict was terminated by foreign exchange of the communicator on 1636, however the seriousness of the cotton conflict became deteriorated. The movement or dismissal or punishment of the interpreter in Dongrae Administration without performing the payment accounting for cotton made the aftermath of the cotton conflict more seriously.
