Abstract

This study examined how the space of sea historically functioned in documentary literature, targeting the emissary journal in Japan [Song Hui-gyeong's Nosongdang ilbonhaengnok (Nosongdang's Travelogue to Japan], the story of sea travel [Choi Bu's Pyohaerok (A Story of Sea Drift)], and the POWs' journal [Jeong Hui-deuk's Wolbong haesangnok (Wolbong's Journal on the Sea)]. The sea in documentary literature was considered to be an experiential space, and specifically, it was first found to be a space of hardship due to wind waves. The hardship caused by wind waves was described most realistically in Choi Bu's Pyohaerok, but the hardships, including the near capsizing of ships, were also described in Nosongdang ilbonhaengnok and Wolbong haesangnok. The sea was also found to be a space of fear due to pirates. The fear of coming across pirates during voyages, albeit considered less dangerous than wind waves, were several times described in the introduction of Song Hui-gyeong's Nosongdang ilbonhaengnok. The fear of encountering pirates during voyages was described not only by Song Hui-gyeong, who constantly feared pirates, but also in Pyohaerok of Choi Bu who had not thought of such fear. Lastly, the sea was considered to be a dual space of disconnecting and connecting with the fatherland. Wolbong haesangnok gives a clear description of how POWs taken to Japan during the Imjin Waeran War looked at the sea.
