The riot that occurred in Sampo(three ports) mainly by Japanese residing in Tsusima in the former period of Chosun is referred to as “Sampowaeran”. This uprising has been regarded as a small-scale uprising. And the causes of the uprising have been thought to be Chosun reinforcing its regulative policy being consistent with the conciliatory policy and then establishing regulations for reception or political change in Chosun increasing coercive ruling on administration of Chosun. However, the cause of Tsusima itself of this uprising cannot be disregarded as the people in Tsusima raised it as the subjects. Although previous research neglected this part, this article aims to point out as one of the causes the point that the large-scale uprising of Sampowaeran was raised by the mixture of situations like the nationwide riot prevalent in Japan then, loss of power of Tsusima in Guju(九州), and Tsusima intending to acquire economic rights and interests through Chosun.
