신유의 『해사록』에 나타난 일본체험과 인식고찰

Abstract

Because the records of envoys' visit to Japan for communicative purpose are made in the course of participating in official visits, pride of their writer is revealed well. And because they are on the basis of various knowledge and experience during traveling in Japan escaping from regional limitation of Joseon, they are also factual records. Shin Yoo who participated in the visit to Japan as a member of communicators couldn't be free from inherent viewpoints of Japan and Japanese. Because of such reasons, in the 『Haesarok』 recording his knowledge and experience in Japan, he revealed relative superiority complex in such ways as to calling Japanese 'Orangkye'. But because the visit to Japan for communicative purpose at that time was formed as the result of consideration of dynamic relations of northern regions, the envoys had to be careful for relations with Japan. Therefore envoys' visits to Japan for communicative purpose at that time are evaluated to have established the most stable relations for the diplomacy toward Japan. At the time of envoys' visit to Japan for communicative purpose in the year of Gyemi, literary men of Woaehang and Seoeol, etc. as well as artistically talented persons such as Hwawon (painters), Sajagwan and Masangjae, etc. also participated as members of envoys, activating cultural exchange between Joseon and Japan. But Shin Yoo's 『Haesarok』 mainly expresses the poet's own experience. So it is not easy to find contents of cultural exchanges made mainly by members of the suite. As large numbers of people participated in the envoys' visit to Japan, interests between the members were complexly entangled. Among them, illustrious officials' distrust of interpreters and Daemadoju appeared continuously. Even during the envoys' visit to Japan at that time, which can be called as stable ones, conflicts existed and such conflicts were expressed in the 『Haesarok』. Shin Yoo is an offspring of Shin, Mal Joo who is a brother of Shin, Sook Joo. While visiting Japan as a member of envoys, he found traces of his ancestor, Shin, Sook Joo and could re-find his position there.
