He was also diplomat and ambassador, representing Joseon interests in the tongsinsa (diplomatic missions) to the Ashikaga shogunate in Japan.[1]
1439 mission to Japan
editKing Sejong dispatched a diplomatic mission to Japan in 1439. This embassy to court of Ashikaga Yoshinori was led by Go Deuk-jong. Its purpose was to foster and maintain neighborly relations (Gyorin diplomacy); and assistance from the shogun was sought in suppressing the pirate raids from those known in Korean as waegu or in Japanese as the wakō.[2]
The Japanese hosts may have construed this mission as tending to confirm a Japanocentric world order.[3] Go Deuk-jong's actions were more narrowly focused in negotiating protocols for Joseon-Japan diplomatic relations.[2]
