Joseon missions to Ryūkyū Kingdom
Encyclopedia
Joseon missions to Ryūkyū Kingdom were diplomatic and trade ventures of the Joseon Dynasty
which were intermittently sent after 1392. These diplomatic contacts were within the Sinocentric system of bilateral and multinational relationships in East Asia. The Ryukyuan King Satto
established formal relations with the Joseon court.
In 1392, the envoy from the Ryūkyū Kingdom
to the court of the Goryeo monarch became among the first foreign representatives to appear in the court of the new king of what would be called the Joseon Dynasty
. In this period, the historic, political, and diplomatic material for research on relations with the Ryukyus are encompassed within the Annals of Joseon Dynasty
(Joseon Wangjo Sillok). The first Joseon diplomatic embaassy at the Ryukyuan court in 1392 was followed by a second one in 1393.
These reciprocal diplomatic and trade relations continue uninterrupted until the war years of 1592-1598; and they were restored after the end of the Imjin War.
