Abstract

This paper checked about Gocho-do's location that Chosun government and Tsushima island's lord signed in November 1441 from Gocho-do Fishing Treaty. A fishing is the lifeline to fisher in Tsushima. So Their lord asked Chosun for they could fish in Gocho-do. But Chosun had to control Japanese because their frequent invasion. Therefore Gocho-do Fishing treaty(孤草島釣魚禁約) was signed. Generally, In these days Jang Joul-ja's research was accepted about Gocho-do's location that Chosun defined as line of control. He determined Gocho-do's location that is current Junnam Yeosu Gemun-do(Go-do, Su-do, Dong-do). But, if the sea route is reproduced through literature, We find the island were very near the land and sailing boat navigation couldn't use out-sea at that time. Considering the southwestern coast's island and geographical conditions, We get to know Geomun-do was not so easy to access because the island was located out -sea. In addition, He said that Go-do(孤島)'s pronunciation in the Go-do(孤島), Cho-do's(草島) pronunciation from Fishing Treaty and currently Go-do(古島) that is part of Geomun-do were same pronunciation. But This is just word meaning. that is, a solitary island, isolated island is resonable. And, Geomun-do cannot swear Sam-do(三島) consider of Gemun-do and other island's people life. To review of literature, to use geography condition and ocean(waterway, fishing range) and to examine cultural environment are very important to discern island's location. Upon further examination, location of Gocho-do is defined again. Owing to the Wa enemy's frequently intrusion from the end of Koryo, Chosun government took steps to prevent them 'Island dwelling prohibition. For this reason, the literature data about the island has limits. however, the island research is urgent more microscopic approach than now.
