延享三(1746)年『大慶参判使記録』 ─吉宗譲職から大慶参判使茶礼前日まで─

Abstract

In 1746, Delegation from Chosen to Japan was dispatched for celebraton of Ieshige’s general accession. This Delegation was ended a schedule calmly compared with other delegations. In this report, I considered “Taikei sanhanshi Records” which could not be considered until now. And I try to understand meaning of existence of Records like this. In 1745 September 1, Yoshimune retired and Ieshige acceded to Shogunate. The process until Tsushima clan receives this news was not smooth. Many days were needed from appointment for a delegation to Chosen to departure from Tsushima clan. And there were intense negotiations with a delegation and Chosen after they arrived in Pusan at last. We can find several articles about that. Those are records of negotiations through four official interpreters with Dongrai or Chosen. I hope to make the form that the Tsushima clan which struggled between the Shogunate and Chosen plays an active part clearly through these work.
