Introduction
This is a report from the Bureau of Hospitality of the State of Koryŏ (Goryeo) sent to the Regional Government of Kyushu of Japan (the Great Japan State) in 1079 CE, which is also the 33th year of Munjong’s reign. In the November of 1079CE, the Bureau of Hospitality of the State of Koryŏ (Goryeo) sent a report to the Regional Government of Kyushu of Japan (the Great Japan State), requiring physicians who can cure contagious diseases from Japan. At that time, King Munjong, who was suffering from contagious diseases, ent this report with gifts, when he heard from a merchant who traveled in Korea and Japan that there were physicians who cured contagious diseases in Japan. However, at that time, Koryŏ (Goryeo) and Japan did not formally establish diplomatic relations, so this report was transmitted by merchants, not by formal delegation or official envoy. The original document cannot be found nowadays, but a book 朝野群載 compiled by the Japanese records this report in Vol.20異國. This book also includes the Japanese responding [答書] sent to Koryŏ (Goryeo) in the following year, 1080CE. In this response, the Japanese criticizes Koryŏ (Goryeo)’s usage of 聖旨 to refer their king’s command. Because in Japan, it was rude and overstepped to call the command of the king of Koryŏ (Goryeo) as 聖旨 not 处分. Then they sent back the report and gifts from the king of Koryŏ (Goryeo).

The Bureau of Hospitality of the State of Koryŏ (Goryeo) notifies the Office of the Great Steward of the Great Japan State. This Bureau prostrates to receive the imperial edict, which states: “I heard that in Your Noble State exist physicians who are able to treat stroke/leprosy. Now because traveling merchant Wang Ch’ichŏng (Wang Chikjeong) returned (?). Because of convenience the dispatch reached the place of Wang Ch’ichŏng, stating the cause of the stroke/leprosy. I kindly request that your side chooses first-class physicians and in the early spring of next year send them here to treat the stroke/leprosy. If the treatment is effective, your state will not be lightly rewarded. Now I first gift brocade, large damask silk, and small damask silk, each ten bolts, musk perfume ten doses and order Wang Ch’ichŏng to carry them to the place of the officials of the Great Steward and notify them. In addition, he serves as a trusted envoy until the gifts reach those who are able to receive them.” The notice is written as that this Bureau previously received, and the imperial edict is completely recorded ahead. We request that Your Noble Office, if there are good physician who really can treat the stroke/leprosy, allow them to be sent here. As precedents, receive the silk bolts and musk perfume as well as various notices. The notice in the year of Kimi (Gimi), the eleventh month, on the ? day. Vice Minister Im Kae (Im Gae) Saeng Minister Ch’oe (Choe) Minister Chŏng (Jeong)
Informing one official document from the notice of the state of Koryŏ Merchants going to and returning from the state of Koryŏ are precedents of old and now. Because of this, last year merchant of that dynasty, Wang Ch’ichŏng became an official [envoy], opened diplomacy, and stopped going in between the continents. One notice from the Bureau of Hospitality, and accompanying it the brocades, damask silk, and musk perfume as well as the others were that which were gifted. Thereby heard the reason of why physicians easily returning to the Western Garrison. (?)[2] The edict that was sent with the notice was that which Ch’ichŏng requested. The official of foreign state did not know. (?) Rule and judge the unexamined brocade, damask silk, and musk perfume as well as the others. Not to mention if not receive [the gifts], first examine the words of their notice. The above was respectfully reported as the document states. The decision in the fourth year of Jōryaku, the third month, on the fifth day.
Rejecting and returning the local products and other affairs We notified that we received your bureau’s notice, stating “This Bureau prostrates to receive the imperial edict… As precedents, receive the silk bolts and musk perfume as well as various notices” as the notice says. Your Noble State suffers the unfortunate incident that illness appears within the bed chamber of your king and seeks medical treat beyond great waves. We face the wind and think about it, how can we not cherish it? But the words of the official notice quite deviate from old practices. You changed royal order to imperial edict, not which a vassal can proclaim. You reside in a remote place and yet overstep the supreme state.

- Discussion Questions:
- How does this document fit into the broader history of Korea-Japan relations? In previous interactions, how did the Goryeo court refer to itself? How did Korea-Japan relations proceed after this rebuke from Japan?
- Goryeo seems to look to Heian Japan as a potential source for more advanced doctors. Was this a general pattern - did Goryeo generally regard Heian Japan as more advanced or developed? Does this have anything to do with the surprised and indignant reaction of the Heian court to the Goryeo dispatch and its use of the term 聖旨?
