This article analyzes foreign relations documents exchanged between Joseon and Japan. As foreign relations documents, there were the kukso (J. kokusho) and the sogye (J. shokei). State letters were exchanged between the King of Joseon and the Shogun of Japan's Bakufu. The kukso was the most powerful document of the King of Joseon and of the Shogun of Japan that were exchanged between the two rulers. The sogye was the next lowest step for foreign relations. Here, Joseon-Japan relations were examined from three perspectives. First, what kinds of seals were placed on foreign relations documents? Second, how were years and time expressed on foreign relations documents? Third, how was the name of Japan's shogun expressed? As results of the analysis above, Joseon and Japan together entered into foreign relations of “equal relations.” Between Joseon and Japan, as a result of already having established interaction, cooperation and confirmation were established. Both countries believed their country to be superior. Further, both countries set the other country as below their own. But, at the scene of diplomacy between the two countries, the so-called Hwa-i (J. Kai-i) view of the other ruler was difficult to express through written documents.
