Song Hui-gyeong (Korean: 송희경; Hanja: 宋希璟; 1376–1446) was a Korean scholar-official of the Joseon period in the 15th century.
He was also diplomat and ambassador, representing Joseon interests in the Hoeryesa (diplomatic mission) to the Ashikaga shogunate in Japan.[1]
1419–1420 mission to Japan
[edit]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.[2]
The Japanese hosts may have construed this mission as tending to confirm a Japanocentric world order.[3] Song Hui-gyeong's actions were more narrowly focused in negotiating protocols for Joseon-Japan diplomatic relations.[2]
