이 글은 해행총재(海行摠載)에 수록된 문견록(聞見錄)을 중심으로 조선통 신사가 포착한 일본의 일상 지식을 확인하기 위해 기획된 것이다. 그에 따라 조선시대에 일본을 방문한 이들의 다양한 기록들이 담겨있는 해행총재를 중심으로 논의를 진행하고자 했으며, 그중에서도 일본의 일상 지식이 자세히 담겨있는 문견록을 주요 연구대상으로 삼았다. 이에 먼저 2장에서는 일상 지식의 개념 정리를 필두로 조선통신사가 포 착한 일상 지식의 갈래를 구분하였다. 이어서 3장에서는 해행총재(海行摠 載) 문견록(聞見錄)에 나타난 일본의 일상 지식을 몇 가지 주제로 구획하였 다. 첫 번째는 ‘일본, 비일상에서 일상적 지리 공간으로의 전향’이라는 주제 로 논의를 진행하였는데, 인간의 거주지 확대는 지식의 확대로 직결되었으 며, 다양한 형태의 탐험적 행위는 공간적 지식의 범위를 확대시켜왔다고 판 단하였기 때문이다. 그 결과 일본의 일상적 지리 지식 수집 과정을 도식화 함으로써 다양한 층위의 지식 수집 양상을 밝혔다. 두 번째로는 ‘일상과 만 남 그리고 일본의 일상 문화 포착’이라는 주제로 논의를 진행하였는데 여기 에서는 조선통신사가 일본의 일상과 문화를 어떻게 기록하였는지 살폈다. 이는 일상 지식의 연구 범주 가운데서도 ‘일상과 사건’을 확인할 수 있는 자 료일 뿐만 아니라 ‘일상생활의 세계 : 우리 세계, 그들 세계’라는 영역까지 도 파악할 수 있는 연구 대상이라는 점에서 의미를 지닌다. 세 번째로는 ‘일상생활에 관한 인식론적 탐색과 인류학적 접근’이라는 주제로 논의를 진 행하였다. 인식론, 즉 일본을 긍정적으로 보았는가 부정적으로 보았는가를 주로 다룬 선행 연구와 달리 인류학적인 시선에서 통신사행록을 다시 분석 하고자 하였다. 결론적으로 이 글은 해행총재(海行摠載)에 수록된 문견록(聞見錄)을 다 루면서도 일본을 ‘일상’ 그리고 ‘지식’, 나아가 ‘일상 지식’으로 읽어내기 위한 시도라고 할 수 있다. 이는 기존에 해행총재에 수록된 개별 사행록에 대해 서는 대략적으로 일정 부분 연구가 진행되었으나, 문견록만 추출하여 ‘일상 지식’을 살핀 연구가 없다는 문제의식에서 비롯된 것이다. 아울러 기존 선행 연구의 답습에서 벗어나 통신사행록 텍스트에 담긴 다양한 지식을 지리학, 문화사, 그리고 인류학 측면에서 들여다보고자 시도했다는 점에 의미가 있다 고 하겠다.
Choryang Waekwan was the biggest Japanese settlment to house the Japanese diplomatic mission and traders in Korea. Waekwan means Japanese Pavilion literally, but the reality of this Waekwan exceeded much the scale of single architecture. Since Choryang Waekwan was closed in the second half of the nineteenth century, the site of this settlement grew rapidly as the downtown of Busan, which was the first port open to foreign countries in modern Korea. The formation of modern port owes much to the presence of Japanese settlment in Lee Dynasty as long as Choryang was officially designated as the trading port toward Japan and vice versa. Busan is the nearest city to Japan, in fact. Within a day ships could reach Tsushima Island, the island region north of Fukuoka, which played an intermediary role between Seoul and Edo. No architectural remain could be seen on the actual site of Choryang Waekwan. The site has become one of the busiest centers in Busan with quantify of office buildings and shops. The former Busan City Hall was located in this area. The field survey of the site as well as the analysis of historical documents, which were newly found both in Korea and in Japan, enabled to reconstruct the architecture and cityscape of Waekwan by way of computer graphics.
The following demonstrates similarities between Japanese and Korean food culture. The facts have been discovered through the examination of records kept by Korean Communication Facilities and Japanese Envoys. Both countries used the numbers 7, 5, 3, in food treats. Both demonstrated Da do(茶道) style during banquet. Japanese Na-ra-dae(奈良臺) is similar to Korean Sue-bae-sang(壽杯床). Both countries had a Kan-ban(decorative table, 看盤) and Mi-soo(wine and someatables, 味數) during banquet. The composition of the table may be the same for both Korean Geo-sick-oh-kwa-sang and Japanese 3Jeup(soups) 15Che(dishes). Agasang is a Kan-ban(decorative table) of Choson's Da-do(茶道) style.
After the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592, correspondents of Chosun called on Japan twelve times, as a mission, from 1607 to 1811. The suite of Chosun Communication Facilities (correspondents) was composed of nearly 500 people including a senior envoy, a junior envoy, other envoyes, and cooks. After preparing traveling expenses, Sifts, foods, medicinal stuffs, and ginseng, they shipped people and freight in three passenger ships and three freighters. They departed from Pusan for Edo(Tokyo). There were 28 stop-overs on their way to Edo and the banquet was given for them at every stop. The arrangements of the table for each banquet were made up of 753 Seon(tables), 3Jeup(soups) and 15Che(dishes). 753Seon(tables) is Ganban(the table for decoration) and a substantial food reception was composed of 3Jeup(soups) and 15Che(dishes). 753Seon(tables) was called Dadopoong(the food of refreshment) style and this was the standard arrangement of the banquet table in Japan. It was comprised of 3Jeup(soups) and 15Che(dishes). On their way from Edo to Thusima Island, food was afforded to correspondents for later preparation and dining. The banquet that the master of Thusima Island gave was composed of the first and second style banquets. The first one was Chusun style and the second one was Japanese style.
Food goods traded between Korea and Japan during the middle period of the Cho Sun era included Insam (Jinseng), rice, beans, honey, perilla oil, starch, adlay, walnuts, pine nuts, jujubes, hazelnuts, and dired chestnuts as exports ; and pepper as imports. The number of Japanese envoies that visited regularly was one thousand five hundred people a year. The receptions that were held for them during the middle period equaled those of the first term of the Cho Sun era, but these receptions were only held in Pu-san. The expense of daily meals was broken down into 8 grades ranging from \129,300 to 2133. The daily meals included Jo-ban (breakfast), Jo-seok-ban (breakfast and dinner), and Ju-jeom-shim (lunch) for the Japanese who visited regularly. During the course of a year, the total amount spent on daily meals was put at a billion won. The banquet style meals included Ha-seon-da-rye (a welcome tea party), Ha-seon-yeon (a welcome banquet), No-cha-yeon (a banquet that was held on the street), and Ye-dan-da-rye (a drink banquet that was held when silk was offered as a gift). It also included Byeol-yeon (a banquet out of the dordinary), Sang-seon-yeon (a farewell banquet), and Myong-il-yeon (a banquet that was held on a national holiday). The banquet style meals were composed of Ceon-tack (to set a table for dinner), Sang-hwa (a flower that was put on the food), Kwan-hwa (to offer a flower when a banquet was held), Ju-9-jan (the ninth wine glass), Dae-seon (meat), music, and Jung-bae-rye (a banquet that was held again after a banquet). The Cho Sun government held banquets forty five times for the Japanese, the food expense for the banquets was put at two hundred and thirty million won.
Food goods traded between Korea and Japan during the first term of the Cho Sun era included Omija (fruit of the Maximowiczia chinensis), Jat (pine nuts), Insam (Jinseng), rice, and beans as exports ; and pepper, sugar, and medicinal stuffs as imports. The trade between Korea and Japan was a result of Japanese envoies' visiting. The official number of Japanese envoies who had exchanges with Koreans were two thousand people a year. Once the Japanese entered Korea, they did not need to pay for their living expenses for the length of their visit because the Cho Sun government bore the whole expense. The Cho Sun government gave formal receptions to them, which included daily meals as well as banquet style meals. The daily meals included Jo-ban (breakfast), Jo-seok-ban (breakfast and dinner), and Ju-jeom-sim (lunch). Meals were served four times a day. The banquet style meals included Sam-po-yeon (a banquet that was held in Sam-po), Kyong-joong-young-jeon-yeon (a farewell banquet, and a welcome banquet that was held in Seoul), Jyu-bong-bae (to offer a guest a drink by day), No-yeon (a banquet that was held on the street), Kwol-nae-yeon (a banquet that was held within the Royal Court). It also included Ye-jo-yeon (a banquet that was held in Ye-jo), and Myong-il-yeon (a banquet that was held on a national holiday). The banquet style meals were composed of Ceon-tack (to set a table for dinner), Sang-hwa (a flower that was put on the food), Kwan-hwa (to offer a flower when a banquet was held), Ju-5-jan (the fifth wine glass), Dae-seon (meat), and music.
