1419-1420 mission to Japan

King Sejong dispatched a diplomatic mission to Japan in 1419-1420. This embassy to court of Ashikaga Yoshimasa in Kamakura was led by Song Hui-gyeong . Its purpose was to respond to a message sent to the Joseon court by the Japanese shogun.[2]

The Japanese hosts may have construed this mission as tending to confirm a Japanocentric world order.[3] Song Hui-gyeong's actions were more narrowly focused in negotiating protocols for Joseon-Japan diplomatic relations.[2]
