통신사 사행원들의 일본에 대한 인식 -『海行摠載』에 실린 사행록들의 부정적 인식의 변화를 중심으로 -

Abstract

So far, when we explain about Tongsinsa, the negative image which is based on Imjin-war has been attended. This manuscript gives attention to the existence of time about 150 years between 1st Tongsinsa and 11th Tongsinsa, and also contemplated about the alteration of recognition about Japan through several pieces of from the Hehengchongjae. As a result, the description about Imjin-war shows a steady falling tendency as increasing the order. Moreover, the expressions that seemed to come from Imjin-war such as ‘Enemy Japanese’ or ‘Brutal and Pugnacious Japanese' did not show up that much compared to other negative expressions from different scenes, for example, when they had problem with the people of Tsushima and when they went against the ideology of Neo-Confucianism. Furthermore, the expressions which was considered as they result from Imjin-war, the character differs from the earlier ones. As we can confirm from the then the True Record of the Joseon Dynasty, the number of appearance and time of the word "Enemy" means that the negative recognition about Japanese which was formed by Imjin-war has considerably decreased from the early Tongsinsa. Because of such reasons, I came to the view that the discription of the culture of entertainment and the positive expression about Japanese has appeared in the records of Tongsinsa.
