ABSTRACT

The Korean emissaries who had been to Japan positively evaluated that the Japanese had worked with diligence and obeyed their superiors readily. The Korean emissaries saw that there was a characteristic moral consciousness peculiar to the Japanese behind their code of conduct. This paper investigates how the Korean emissaries had understood the Japanese moral consciousness. Firstly, this paper confirms that Korean emissaries had recognized that Oryun peculiar scarcely existed in Japan. Next the paper points out that the Korean emissaries had highly praised the Japanese sense of hierarchical relationship, their moral consciousness and their law-abiding spirit. Finally this paper investigates how Korean emissaries had understood the Japanese moral standard which had been formed through the experience of war, by focusing on the fact that they had connected the Japanese moral consciousness with the army discipline.
