에도시대 초기 일본의 임진왜란 인식 - 林羅山의 『豐臣秀吉譜』를 중심으로 -

Abstract

This study examines the influence of the Toyotomihideyoshihu written by Hayashi Rajan, a Confucian scholar in the early Edo period, on the consciousness of the Japanese in the Edo period of Imjin War(Japanese invasion to Joseon in 1592) and Toyotomi Hideyoshi. The characteristics of the content and narrative system of Toyotomihideyoshihu are as follows: First, it excluded Joseon from the description of Imjin War, and thoroughly depicted the Japanese invasion as a war between Ming and Japan. This is consistent with Hideyoshi's statement that the purpose of the war was to conquer the Ming Dynasty, leaving room for Hideyoshi, who had a "big dream", not delusions. Second, there is no criticism/evaluation of Imjin War and Hideyoshi. There is no reflection on the war, and there is no indication of Hideyoshi's recklessness and sin. Third, it does not describe the horrors and cruelties of the war, but contains only resolution/hardship of the Japanese army against the Ming's enormous army. It contains the work of a brave Japanese army that fights against trials and fears. The Toyotomihideyoshihu had many merits, such as the authority of Hayashirazan writing, obvious configuration/system, and so on. So it has an important place in the genealogy of Taikouki mono(Hideyoshi's biography) which was continuously produced in the Edo period. And it was a document that had a great influence on the records of the Imjin War. The Toyotomihideyoshihu, which had such characteristics and great influence, conveyed the untouched/undamaged prototype of the of Toyotomi Hideyoshi and his Invasion to Joseon, which the Japanese in the Edo period wanted to remember. And, in the situation where the Seikanron and the Kaiboron(National Security) have emerged since the 18th century, the contemporary people took out and upgraded the Imjin War and Hideyoshi.
