Song Hui-gyeong
Song Hui-gyeong was a scholar-official of the Joseon Dynasty Korea in the 15th century.
He was also diplomat and ambassador, representing Joseon interests in the Hoeryesa to the Ashikaga shogunate in Japan.1419-1420 mission to Japan
King Sejong dispatched a diplomatic mission to Japan in 1419-1420. This embassy to court of Ashikaga Yoshimasa in Kamakura was led by Song Hui-gyeong. Its purpose was to respond to a message sent to the Joseon court by the Japanese shogun.
The Japanese hosts may have construed this mission as tending to confirm a Japanocentric world order. Song Hui-gyeong's actions were more narrowly focused in negotiating protocols for Joseon-Japan diplomatic relations.
