	Horizons-Korea
		With this last battle of the Hideyoshi invasions of Korea, Korea lost one of its greatest war heroes.
		The beginning of the end of the Hideyoshi invasions of Korea came about when General Hideyoshi died in Japan on September 18, 1598.
		This enraged Hideyoshi, as China's message to him was no more than one of Japan's subordination to China; therefore, Hideyoshi made plans for a second invasion of Korea.

	The Madness of Hideyoshi
		While there certainly was a possibility that the Hideyoshi invasions of Korea could have been successful, the chances of a successful invasion were slim.
		Hideyoshi's trust in the Kato, Mori, and Konishi was further displayed after his conquest of Kyushu; the Mori family was given most of Northern Kyushu as a fief (Sansom, 322.) Hideyoshi clearly trusted those families which he sent to Korea.
		Japan's inability to make war, Hideyoshi's inability to recognize Korea's military capability, as well as China's growing economy, the mission's lack of strategic gain, and his growing irrationality towards the end of his life prove this statement to be true.

		This limitation of Hideyoshi's regime gave rise to internal power struggles and finally drove Hideyoshi to such reckless actions as the invasions of Korea in 1592 and 1597.
		Hideyoshi's regime collapsed on the failure of the second Korean expedition and as the direct result of Hideyoshi's subsequent death.
		Hideyoshi's so-called "sword hunt" (katana-gari) of 1588, which attempted to disarm the peasantry and melt the confiscated arms into an enormous statue of the Buddha, was an important prerequisite for this policy.

	The Madness of Hideyoshi
		While there certainly was a possibility that the Hideyoshi invasions of Korea could have been successful, the chances of a successful invasion were slim.
		With them, Oda's navy was virtually invincible (Sansom, 309.) Hideyoshi, however, did not employ the use of iron clad ships in his navy during the invasion of Korea, further proving that he was not thinking clearly when he invaded Korea.
		Japan's inability to make war, Hideyoshi's inability to recognize Korea's military capability, as well as China's growing economy, the mission's lack of strategic gain, and his growing irrationality towards the end of his life prove this statement to be true.

	Background Notes: South Korean 11/97
		Korea was under Mongolian occupation from 1231 until the early 14th century and was devastated by Chinese rebel armies in 1359 and 1361; the Japanese warlord Hideyoshi launched major invasions in 1592 and 1597.
		Korea was first populated by a Tungusic branch of the Ural-Altaic family, which migrated to the peninsula from the northwestern regions of Asia.
		Korea's closed-door policy, adopted to ward off foreign encroachment, earned it the name of "Hermit Kingdom." Although the Choson Dynasty paid fealty to the Chinese throne, Korea was, in fact, independent until the late 19th century.

		In addition to the continued trade with and travel to and from China and Korea, Toyotomi Hideyoshi instigated two devastating invasions of the Korean peninsula with the ultimate goal of invading China.
		He was followed by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who continued the campaign to reunite Japan.
		The decorative style that is the hallmark of Momoyama art had its inception in the early sixteenth century and lasted well into the seventeenth.

		Hideyoshi's regime collapsed on the failure of the second Korean expedition and as the direct result of Hideyoshi's subsequent death.
		For example, the kurairechi (lands under its direct control), which were the immediate financial base of the regime, amounted to more than 2.2 million koku by the time of Hideyoshi's death, nearly one-eighth of Japan's cultivated land.

		Occupied in the east while Hideyoshi pursued his futile invasions of Korea, Ieyasu consolidated his new base and, shortly before Hideyoshi’s death in 1598, swore with the other great generals to serve Hideyoshi’s successor, his infant son Hideyori.
		Their defeat by Oda Nobunaga in 1560 freed Ieyasu to regain leadership of the Matsudaira, and he immediately allied with Nobunaga, changing his name to Tokugawa Ieyasu and seizing Imagawa land.
		Born Matsudaira Takechiyo of the Matsudaira military clan, Ieyasu grew up in a chaotic period of feuding clans.

		This limitation of Hideyoshi's regime gave rise to internal power struggles and finally drove Hideyoshi to such reckless actions as the invasions of Korea in 1592 and 1597.
		The seeds of this policy had been sown in trade control and in measures against Christianity by the Nobunaga and Hideyoshi regimes.
		Cadastral surveys aimed at strengthening feudal landownership were at this stage carried out not so much to gain control over the complicated landholding and taxation system of the farmers as to define the size of fiefs (chigyo) of Nobunaga's retainers in order to confirm the extent of their military services and obligations to him.

		He was then made commander of part of Hideyoshi's fleet, taking part in Hideyoshi's 1587 campaigns in Kyushu, the 1590 Siege of Odawara, and the invasions of Korea, which took place from 1592 to 1598.
		During the disastrous invansion of Korea, Yasuharu met continuous defeat at the hands of Admiral Yi Sun-Sin and the Joseon Navy, most notably at the Battle of Hansando, where he lost his entire fleet and almost 10,000 soldiers.
		In 1581, he was one of several who led Nobunaga's troops in the Siege of Hijiyama.

		Reputable professional historians dispute this quite vigorously, although everyone agrees about the terrible destruction wrought by the Hideyoshi invasions in the late 16th century and Mongol invasion during the early 13th century.
		In the global competition for the prize of "most invaded territory" in history, I suspect Korea would be eliminated in the early rounds, even within its favored "most invaded peninsula" division.
		Sure, the Korean peninsula has been invaded more often than the Japanese archipelago over the last couple of millennia, but both are in the bush leagues in the global scheme of things.

	artnet.com: Resource Library: Yu Song-up
		Yu Song-up is said to have visited Japan during the second part of the 16th century, probably as part of a diplomatic mission before the Toyotomi Hideyoshi invasions of Korea and the Imjin War (1592–8), and has been credited with introducing scholar painting of the Southern school into that country.
		By tradition Yi Chong-Kun was the founder of the Southern school of painting in Korea.
		The flourishing of the Southern school of painting in Korea was a phenomenon of the mid-17th century; it is thus clearly an anachronism to connect Yi Chong-kun in any direct way with the Zhe school.

	Origin of the Imjin Name
		The Imjin War (1592-98), also known as the Hideyoshi Invasions, was one of the most disastrous periods of Korean history.
		I also found many references to the the Imjin War, or Imjin Waerun to the Koreans, in which the Koreans fought against the Japanese General Hideyoshi.
		Although it did not reach its goal of penetrating China, it boosted its economy and helped solidify the country under Hideyoshi's successor, Tokugawa Ieyasu.

	Eastern Art Report Online: Arita Blue and White-- Evolution and Development in the 17th Century, by Oliver Impey [Ashmolean Museum, Oxford]
		Karatsu, in the northwest 'corner' of Kyushu, was particularly influenced by Korean immigrants, before the invasions of Korea by Japanese forces under Hideyoshi introduced Korean potters to Japan.
		Thus before the end of the 16th century, Karatsu stoneware production was influenced by Korea.
		It seems likely that the mountain of porcelain stone at Izumiyama in Arita, some 12 kilometres southeast of Karatsu, was known to the Karatsu potters and exploited as a glaze constituent before it was used to make a porcelain body.

	The Failure of the 16th Century Japanese Invasions of Korea
		After nearly seven years of warfare and truce talks in Korea, Japan failed at its goal as a combined result of the brilliant naval command of Korean Admiral Yi Sun-sin, constant Korean guerrilla activity, Korean military assistance by Ming China, and lastly, the death of General Hideyoshi.
		Under the leadership of Admiral Yi, the Korean navy was able to turn the tide of the invasion by cutting off the vital sea routes of the Japanese navy.
		Admiral Yi directed the construction of a fleet of modern warships, including one ship that he designed himself, unlike any that the world had ever seen.

		Hideyoshi sent a force of 100,000 soldiers in 1000 ships to reinforce the 50,000 troops he had left in Pusan.
		These men were not experienced with the forms of engagement that they witnessed in the Korean campaigns, and their ships were not equipped for such battles.
		Another source states that the turtle ship was not an ironclad at all, but that it had a wooden deck "spiked with sharp pieces of metal" (Elisonas 278).

	South Korea - Traditional Social Structure
		An interesting development in the social history of the Choson Dynasty occurred after the government began to sell honorary patents of office to people who were not yangban to raise revenue following the dislocations of the Hideyoshi invasions.
		In Choson Dynasty Korea, four rather distinct social strata developed: the scholar-officials, collectively referred to as the yangban; the chungin (literally "middle people"), technicians and administrators subordinate to the yangban; the commoners or sangmin, a large group composed of farmers, craftsmen, and merchants; and the ch'ommin (literally despised people)," at the bottom of society.
		Other late Choson Dynasty social changes included the gradual shift of agricultural labor from slave status to contractual arrangements, and the emergence of "entrepreneurial farmers"--commoners who earned small surpluses through innovative agricultural techniques.
