A ceremony for signing Korea-Japan joint registration of the UNESCO World Record Heritage Site of Joseon missions to Japan was held at Tsusima, Japan on January 29th, 2016. In the meantime, the Busan Cultural Foundation of Korea and the NPO corporation, Association of liaison communication for Joseon mission to Japan have been the center and have made efforts to register the documents related to Joseon mission to Japan in the UNESCO World Record Heritage Site, the final entry application was confirmed. The purpose of this study is to examine the journeys related to the seaway of Joseon missions to Japan in 1636 focusing on the records submitted by the Korean side in light of these points. First of all, we focused on the route of Joseon missions to Japan by sea using the records of the Korean side who applied for registration in the World Record Heritage and examined it from the aspect of marine humanities. It was not the diplomatic aspect of dispatching Josen missions to Japan at the time, but it paid attention to the emotions in the foreign country that the ambassadors and delegations in the field would have felt on board the sea and port of call. Cultural exchanges and economic exchanges between continents and continents, or countries and countries during the pre-modern era, were possible through the ocean. In addition, it examines how the seaway journey coincides with the concept of 'sightseeing' in the oriental history, providing that the delegation's trip to Japan was not just for diplomatic purposes. Among the research methods of this study, we focused on the maritime records related to the seaway envoy trip in 1636 during the 14th year of King Injo, among 12 Joseon missions to Japans in the late Joseon period. This is because the envoy trip in 1636 was the first Seongshingyorin of both countries for the purpose of peace unlike the envoy that had been previously dispatched. The scope of the research included Im Gwang's Byeongja Japanese Diary, Kim Se-ryeom's Haesarok, and Hwang Ho's Dongsarok which were registered in the UNESCO World Record Heritage Site of Joseon missions to Japan among the records of Haehaengchongjae. It will leave a multifaceted consideration on the journey of Joseon missions to Japan to all of archives to be registered in the UNESCO World Heritage Site in the future.
