By confirming the fact, we become to have an understanding about the detailed contents and the actual conditions of the management of the prior consultation.　After the diplomatic mission reached Tsushima, there was a full discussion between the two. There are four essential particulars. Second of all, Tsushimahan will not give permission to the illegal import of the diplomatic mission. This seemed to be realized. The third is that the diplomatic mission must not take violent behavior in Japan. Tsushimahan said that one could be murdered If one shows some kind of violent action. There is a record about a command in Souke document, which is When an unbearable dishonor is given, kill the person who gave oneself dishonor. Few trouble occurred in 1682 because of the strict regulation. However, for the diplomatic mission, they did not only have a mission to convey the letter from the King to the Shogun, but also had entrusted with some different important mission. It was to sign a new treaty with Tsushimahan about trade and the Japanese residential ristrict in Busan. They seemed to accept all the demands of Tsushimahan in order to make the new treaty granted.
