담와 홍계희의 일본에서의 활동과 일본 사행시 검토

Abstract

Damwa(澹窩) Hong Gye-hui(洪啟禧, 1703-1771) had visited to Japan as an emissary to Mujin in 1748. Public trip to Mujin which was analogous to public trip of Gyemi in 1763 had been thought of as an active exchange with Japanese. Due to some of the political reasons, however, any literature could not be left and it is not easy to find his activities either even though he was a representative administrator and a important figure of public trip to Mujin. Therefore this paper is aimed at finding the meaning and Hong Gye-hui’s activities in Japan out based on the records of an emissary to Mujin. According to the records remained, there are 『Bongsa-ilbon-sigyeonmunrok(봉사일본시견문록)』 written by emissary Jo Myeong-chae and 『Susailrok(隨槎日錄)』 written by his son Hong Gyeong-hae who had participated as military officer. Compared with the records of conversation by writing on above two, Hong Gyeong-hae’s record has not only a tendency to write as a Japanese literature but also to collect and write the comprehensive Japanese information such as Japanese state system and custom. Furthermore, it had already have comprehensive knowledge of Japan and could be seen to amass new information additionally. It could be the background for poets and scribes to meet extensively with Japanese literary men and treat them, which is reflected by his active willing. Consequently the conversation by writing between the two national literary man had increased obviously more than former period. And the foundation had been built to be inherited a tendency of studying Japan and conversing by writing to an emissary to Gyemi. I have also found Hong Gye-hui’s poems remained. It remained total thirteen poem consisted of two poem created with Rinke, five poem created with Hohaengjangro, six poem left at temple which had been used as an accommodation or rest place. The poem which was given to Rinke who played a role for a hospitality at Tokugawa shogunate shows highly polished elegance. The other one which was created at Hohaengjanro and temple was focused on appearing scenery while it was created as seeing a splendid view at a part of the way of trip. These are the poem can see the arrangement of short poetic dictions and well-knit distichs. As the traces left through emissary were a few, it could be thought the important historical records which can show one side of Hong Gye-hui.
