Kim Yi-gyo (Korean: 김이교; Hanja: 金履喬; 1764 – 25 August 1832) was a scholar-official and Uuijeong of the Joseon dynasty Korea.
He was also diplomat and ambassador, representing Joseon interests in the 12th Edo period diplomatic mission to the Tokugawa shogunate in Japan.
1811 mission to Japan[edit]
Kim Igyo was the leader selected by Sunjo of Joseon to head a mission to Japan in 1811.[1] This diplomatic mission functioned to the advantage of both the Japanese and the Koreans as a channel for maintainining a political foundation for trade.[2]
This delegation was explicitly identified by the Joseon court as a "Communication Envoy" (tongsinsa). The mission was understood to signify that relations were "normalized".[3]
The Joseon monarch's ambassador and retinue traveled only as far as Tsushima. The representatives of shōgun Ienari met the mission on the island which is located in the middle of the Korea Strait between the Korean Peninsula and Kyushu.[4]
