In order to understand the discourse on Yi Sun-sin in Japan in the 1930s, we must understand the London Naval Conference held in 1930. As a result of the London Naval Conference, the Japanese Navy, which was in a situation where it had to implement disarmament, used the media to conduct propaganda activities to overcome this, and as a result, it eventually withdrew from the disarmament system in 1936. However, in many publications related to the Navy published during this period, Yi Sun-sin’s activities during the Imjin War were frequently mentioned. The Navy had to emphasize the importance of naval power in order to oppose disarmament, and cited various historical cases where naval power was weak and failed in war. At this time, the most frequently mentioned case in Japanese history was that of Yi Sun-sin. Yi Sun-sin’s case, which turned the unfavorable war situation into favor situation through naval power, was the case in Japanese history that could show the public the importance of naval power that the Japanese Navy wanted.
