Drifting Records(漂海錄) are the unofficial written documents as a concrete and realistic narrative made through informal contact with people of various classes including intellectuals, soldiers, merchants, or fishermen etc. From the 15th to 19th centuries, major drifting records of Asia were produced in China, Japan, Korea, or Vietnam written in the Chinese characters. However, research on the development of exhibition content using them is very insufficient. Moreover, it is difficult to find research on how to educate these themes in museums and exhibition program, and how to organize and utilize exhibitions as marine cultural content. This study scrutinizes major drifting records of the 15th and 19th centuries from all over Asia, while organizing exhibition content that shows the reality of various exchanges and history that Asian countries have continued. On the other hand, I visually present one aspect of the pre-modern Asian maritime civilization network through the exhibition content that includes excitement of the ocean experience and customs of the exotic other Asian countries. Lastly, I try to examine the possibilities of marine cultural content from various angles by investigating and utilizing novels, documentaries, dramas, movies, and plays based on the drifting records.
