The Joseon Tongsinsa History Museum, which looks back on the achievements of the Joseon Tongsinsa, who were responsible for cultural exchange between Korea and Japan since the 17th century, opened on April 2011, 4 on the grounds of Jaseongdae Park.
The word "communication" in "tsushinshi" does not have the same meaning as it does today, but rather meant "mutual communication based on trust." The envoys who traveled from Korea to Japan were called "Joseon Tsushinshi" in Japan, and subsequently visited Japan a total of 1607 times between 1811 and 12.
The envoys were official diplomatic missions that maintained peaceful relations between the people of Korea and Japan based on the idea of friendly relations and good neighborliness, and they also served as a cultural facility for the dissemination and exchange of advanced culture.
1F
The first floor exhibition hall of the two-story Korean Embassy History Museum is equipped with an information counter, a 2D video information center, sofas for resting, and a permanent exhibition room.
The Japanese settlement called Soryo Wakan, newly established in 1678 (located in the area of Yongdusan Park where the current Busan Tower stands), flourished as a gateway for diplomacy, trade, and economic exchange between the two countries until it was closed by the Meiji Restoration government in 1872. On display are silver ingots, Mino washi paper, folding fans with Japanese designs, and glass wind chimes that were imported from Japan at that time.
2F
On the second floor, the route of the Korean missions, from their departure from Hanyang (Seoul) to their arrival in Busan, to the "Sea God Festival" held at Eigadai to pray for a safe voyage before departing for Japan, to their arrival in Edo (Tokyo), Japan, is explained in detail. Also on display are models of the ships that the Korean missions rode on, as well as their costumes.
Upon leaving the gate on the second floor of the history museum, you will find a small garden where you can take photos and feel like you are part of the Korean envoys, as well as Eikadai (a reconstructed version) where the Sea God Festival was held.
As we enter a new century, new directions are being called for in Korea-Japan relations and cultural exchange. In particular, with the joint hosting of the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, the need for various exchanges and events for friendly relations and harmony between Korea and Japan is increasing. Now, through the Envoys Festival, there is a need to revitalize private and cultural exchange between Korea and Japan, and to promote mutual understanding, peace, and harmony.
The annual Joseon Tongsinsa Festival is held in early May on a special stage in Yongdusan Park and around Gwangbok-ro. The highlight of the festival, the Joseon Tongsinsa Parade, will be magnificently reenacted at 5pm on Saturday at Yongdusan Park and around Gwangbok-ro, and the Sea God Ceremony, which prays for the safe voyage of the Joseon Tongsinsa to Japan, will be held at the Joseon Tongsinsa History Museum.
