Abstract

This study is on Monpaishu of Ooesikou, a literary man in Kyoto, who was very active in literary writing conversations with the Kyemi Envoy. Ooesikou played a role of liaison with literary persons in the region of Kansai who shared literary writing conversations with the Kyemi Envoy. Wakansomeishu appending Monpaishu was a good reflection of the human network among literary persons in the region of Kansai at that time. However, Ooesikou and his Monpaishu has scarcely been mentioned in the academic circles of Korea and Japan, related to the Kyemi Envoy and literary writing conversations in the late Chosun Dynasty. In that respect, this study focusing on Ooesikou and his Monpaishu will offer a new perspective to studies related to the Kyemi Envoy and literary writing conversations in the late Chosun Dynasty. Ooesikou repeatedly mentioned a Balhae envoy, Bargyoo, in literary writing conversations with the Kyemi Envoy, and emphasized that the conversations between Korean and Japanese literary persons had more than 1,000 years of history. The key note of this study is the historical consciousness of Japanese literary persons whom Ooesikou represented before modern times. By contrast, nobody of the Kyemi Envoy did not express any concern to Balhae envoy. So this study researched in which these differences in perception of a man of letters between the two countries taken to respond to verify through Monpaishu. Monpaishu was an independent literary work, published separately before the publication of Wakansomeishu. Nevertheless, Monpaishu was attached to Wakansomeishu in a form of appendix. It reflected the contemporary literary circles in Kansai, where Yuransha, Kenkadogai, Kontonsha, etc were entwined together. Before or after the Kyemi Envoy, the situation of the contemporary literary circles in Kansai was very complicated. Therefore, we can not be easily understood. So this study researched the around of yousoryo and Ooesikou who led the Yuransha as part of the work that identifies the literary circles as part of task that grasp the contemporary literary circles in Kansai in the late 18th century.
