AB - This study examines how the diplomatic principles established by Joseon were institutionalized and operated within Korea-Japan relations by analyzing the issuance trends and operation of the Amyeong-Doseo (Childhood Name Seals) from the mid-17th to the early 19th centuries.
First, after the Imjin War, Joseon established strict regulations for the issuance of Doseo according to official title to rectify the previous malpractices of indiscriminate issuance. Despite Tsushima’s irregular demands and attempts to elevate the status of these requests, Joseon consistently adhered to its principles, thereby consolidating these regulations into a formal diplomatic norm. Consequently, a diplomatic precedent was established in which Tsushima could secure its economic interests only by complying with Joseon’s regulations.
Second, the hiatus in Doseo requests for nearly a century after the mid-18th century did not signify a weakening of the system or a distancing of relations; rather, it was the result of the practical binding force of the diplomatic norms established by Joseon. During this period, Tsushima was in desperate need of the economic benefits provided by the Amyeong-Doseo due to its financial situation deteriorated. However, recognizing that unreasonable demands deviating from the regulations could not override Joseon’s firm principles, Tsushima ceased submitting requests. This demonstrates that the Joseon-led diplomatic order remained stable and operative despite the prolonged hiatus.
