  • Organizing Japanese and Jurchens in Tribute Systems in Early Chosòn Korea

    Open AccessKenneth R RobinsonARTICLEJournal of East Asian Studies2013References: 3

    In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries the Chosòn Korea government designed and utilized hierarchical tribute systems for managing interactions, in particular, trade, with Japanese and Jurchen elites. Korean officials separated maritime and overland contacts, divided the contacts further into carefully delineated reception grades and diplomatic statuses, and designed detailed procedures for interaction. More specifically, diplomatic status dete…

  • Japanese Presence, Korean Military Bases, and Korean Maps in the Late Fifteenth Century

    Open AccessKenneth R Robinson, KENNETH R ROBINSON KENNETH R ROBINSONARTICLEActa Koreana2010

    The Chosŏn Korea government preserved maps of the three ports in Kyŏngsang Province opened to Japanese presence and trade. Those images show the structures where Japanese residents lived and the Waegwan , or Japan House, where visiting envoys, traders, and ship crew stayed while in the open ports. Significantly, the Korean official who compiled these three maps also marked civil and military administration headquarters that were in or near the po…

  • Gavin Menzies, 1421 , and the Ryūkoku Kangnido World Map

    Kenneth R RobinsonARTICLEMing Studies2010

    Gavin Menzies argues that the depiction of Africa in the late fifteenth-century Korean world map, the Ryūkoku Kangnido, provides evidence that Ming China mapped the west coast of Africa and discovered the world in the 1420s. This paper examines his use of the Ryūkoku Kangnido and his use of available writing on this world map. For Asian cartographic history Menzies appears to have read only the homepage of a map lover who summarized historians' r…

  • Daoist Geographies in Three Korean World Maps

    Kenneth R RobinsonARTICLEJournal of Daoist Studies2009

    Four Korean maps of the world compiled during the Chosŏn period show Chosŏn of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries and present known lands from Japan to continental western Europe. These maps are informed by a Confucian ordering of culture and by Daoist conceptions of space. However, the Daoist geography of continents and paradise isles differs among the four maps. The Tenri University Library’s Tae Myŏng-guk to (Map of Great Ming) and the Honm…

  • Chosŏn Korea in the Ryūkoku Kangnido: Dating the Oldest Extant Korean Map of the World (15th Century)

    Kenneth R RobinsonARTICLEImago Mundi2007Cited by: 1

    The date of the earliest extant Korean world map, entitled Honil kangni yŏktae kukto chi to (Map of Integrated Lands and Regions of Historical Countries and Capitals) and now in the Ōmiya Library, Ryūkoku University Academic Information Center, Kyoto, Japan, is unknown. The Ryūkoku Kangnido (as the map is commonly referred to), along with three other Korean world maps believed to have been made in Chosŏn Korea in the fifteenth or sixteenth centur…

  • An Island's Place in History: Tsushima in Japan and in ChosÅn, 1392-1592

    Kenneth R RobinsonARTICLEKorean studies2006

    The proximity of the Japanese island of Tsushima to the Korean peninsula made plausible the views among Korean elites in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries that the island had been Korean territory in the historical past. The Chosŏn court expressed historical and contemporary possession of Tsushima/Taema-do through assertions of the island's Korean history, dispatch of officials bearing domestic administration posts, and cartography. The court…

  • Centering the King of Chosŏn: Aspects of Korean Maritime Diplomacy, 1392-1592

    Open AccessKenneth R RobinsonARTICLEThe Journal of Asian Studies2000Cited by: 1References: 2

    In diplomatic settings, the King of Chosŏn Korea showed different faces to different people between 1392 and 1592. The monarch looked toward the Emperor of Ming China as a status inferior and acted as a status equal with rulers of Japan and Ryukyu. In a recasting of the Chinese precept that diplomacy should not be conducted with subjects, he sat upon the throne as status superior to Japanese and Ryukyuans who had been permitted or denied tributar…

  • The Tsushima Governor and Regulation of Japanese Access to Chosŏn in the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Centuries

    Kenneth R RobinsonARTICLEKorean studies1996

    This article suggests that Chosŏn government officials did not strictly adhere to the tributary system model of international relations in their dealings with Japanese in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Officials borrowed from Chinese example and from domestic policy in designing Japanese access control policies that responded flexibly to political conditions in Japan. The munin access permits issued by the Tsushima shugo were perhaps the …

  • From Raiders to Traders: Border Security and Border Control in Early Chosŏn, 1392-1450

    Kenneth R RobinsonARTICLEKorean studies1992

    The compromising of the country's border areas by decades of Jurchen and Japanese depredations presented the new Chosŏn government with an immediate policy challenge. Having obtained legitimacy after investiture by China in 1401 and 1403, the Chosŏn court moved to secure its northern and southern border areas through a combination of diplomacy, naturalization of border peoples, and trade policies. With the borders secured, the court shifted to a …
