Jo Tae-eok[1] (Korean: Script error: No such module "Lang".Script error: No such module "Category handler".; 1675 – 5 November 1728), also known as Cho T'aeŏk,[2] was an 18th-century Korean scholar-official and Jwauijeong of the Joseon period.
He was also diplomat and ambassador, representing Joseon interests in the 8th Edo period diplomatic mission to the Tokugawa shogunate in Japan.[2]
1711 mission to Japan
In 1711, King Sukjong of Joseon directed that a mission to the shogunal court of Tokugawa Ienobu should be sent to Edo.[3] This diplomatic mission functioned to the advantage of both the Japanese and the Koreans as a channel for developing a political foundation for trade.[4]
This delegation was explicitly identified by the Joseon court as a "Communication Envoy" (tongsinsa). The mission was understood to signify that relations were "normalized."[5]
The delegation arrived in the 1st year of Shōtoku, according to the Japanese calendar in use at that time.[6] Jo Tae-eok was the chief envoy of this diplomatic embassy.[3]
Recognition in the West
Jo Tae-eok's historical significance was confirmed when his mission and his name were specifically mentioned in a widely distributed history published by the Oriental Translation Fund in 1834.[6]
In the West, early published accounts of the Joseon kingdom are not extensive, but they are found in Sangoku Tsūran Zusetsu (published in Paris in 1832),[7] and in Nihon ōdai ichiran (published in Paris in 1834). Joseon foreign relations and diplomacy are explicitly referenced in the 1834 work.
