Yan Yu was a Korean diplomat and ambassador, representing Joseon interests in a diplomatic mission to the Ashikaga shogunate (''Muromachi bafuku'') in Japan. ==1409-1410 mission to Japan== King Taejong dispatched a diplomatic mission to Japan in 1409-1410. * 1409 (''Ōei 16, 3rd month''): In the 10th year of King Taejong's reign, an ambassador from the Joseon court was received in Kyoto.〔Titsingh, Isaac. (1834). (''Anales des empereurs du japon,'' pp. 325-326. )〕 This delegation to court of Ashikaga Yoshimochi was led by Yan Yu. The purpose of this diplomatic embassy was to respond to a message sent to the Joseon court by the Japanese shogun.〔Kang, Etsuko H. (1997). ( ''Diplomacy and Ideology in Japanese-Korean Relations: from the Fifteenth to the Eighteenth Century,'' p. 275. )〕 The Joseon envoy conveyed a letter of condolences on the death of the shogun's father; and he also brought gifts, including cotton cloth, tiger skins, leopard skins and ginseng.〔Kang, ( p. 39. )〕 Yan Yu was empowered to offer to send a copy of a rare Buddhist text to Japan.〔 The Japanese hosts may have construed this mission as tending to confirm a Japanocentric world order.〔Arano Yasunori (2005). ( "The Formation of A Japanocentric World Order," ) ''The International Journal of Asian Studies,'' vol. 2, pp. 185-216.〕 Yan Yu's actions were more narrowly focused in negotiating protocols for Joseon-Japan diplomatic relations.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yan Yu (diplomat)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
