Joseon missions to Japan represent a crucial aspect of the international relations of mutual Joseon-Japanese contacts and communication.[1] The bilateral exchanges were intermittent.
The unique nature of these bilateral diplomatic exchanges evolved from a conceptual framework developed by the Chinese.[2] Gradually, the theoretical model would be modified. The changing model mirrors the evolution of a unique relationship between two neighboring states.[3]
Muromachi shogunate missions to the Joseon court
The Muromachi bafuku's diplomatic contacts and communication with the Joseon court encompassed informal contacts and formal embassies. Muromachi diplomacy also included the more frequent and less formal contacts involving the Japanese daimyo (feudal lord) of Tsushima Island.
In addition, trade missions between merchants of the area were frequent and varied.[4]

- 1403 – A Japanese diplomatic mission from the Japanese shogun, Ashikaga Yoshimochi, was received in Seoul; and this set in motion the beginnings of a decision-making process about sending a responsive mission to Kyoto.[10][11][12]
- 1404 – Former-Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu causes a message to the Joseon king to be sent; and the sender is identified as "king of Japan". The salutation construes the Joseon monarch as the sender's co-equal peer.[5]
- 1432 – Shogun Ashikaga Yoshinori sent an ambassador to the Joseon court.[6]
- 1456 – Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimasa caused a letter to be sent to the king of Joseon.[7]
- 1474 – Shogun Ashikaga Yoshihisa sent a ambassador to China, stopping en route at the Joseon court in Seoul. The ambassador's charge was to seek an official seal from the Imperial Chinese court.[8]
- 1499 – Shogun Ashikaga Yoshizumi dispatched an envoy to the Joseon court asking for printing plates for an important Buddhist text; and although the specific request was not fulfilled, the Joseon court did agree to offer printed copies.[9]
