Yun Myŏng

King Taejong dispatched a diplomatic mission to Japan in 1406.

This delegation to court of Ashikaga Yoshimochi was led by Yun Myŏng.

The purpose of this diplomatic embassy was to respond to a message sent to the Joseon court by the Japanese shogun.

[1] The Japanese hosts may have construed this mission as tending to confirm a Japanocentric world order.

[2] Yun Myŏng's actions were more narrowly focused in negotiating protocols for Joseon-Japan diplomatic relations.
