Imjin War (4)

WORD

The Japanese invasions of Korea of 1592–1598 or Imjin War involved two separate yet linked invasions: an initial invasion in 1592 (Imjin Disturbance), a brief truce in 1596, and a second invasion in 1597 (Chongyu War). The conflict ended in 1598 with the withdrawal of Japanese forces from the Korean Peninsula after a military stalemate in Korea's southern provinces.

Jehwangsan Park, situated atop Jehwangsan Mountain in the heart of Jinhae, houses the iconic nine-story Jinhae Tower. This tower, resembling a Korean naval warship, stands proudly atop a staircase of 365 steps, offering a breathtaking view of both the cityscape and the coastline. Within the first and second floors of the tower, the Jinhae City Museum proudly displays folk models and historical artifacts unearthed from Jinhae. Renowned as Korea's quintessential naval port city, Jinhae boasts a rich array of cultural treasures associated with Admiral Yi Sun-shin (1545-1598), a revered Korean figure celebrated for leading the nation to triumph in naval clashes against Japanese forces during the Imjin War (1592-1598).

The Samdo Sugun Tongjeyeong (Historical Site No. 402) refers to the old naval headquarters commanding the naval forces stationed in three provinces (Gyeongsang-do, Jeolla-do, and Chungcheong-do province). It was established in 1604 and remained in operation for 292 years, until 1895. Hansanjinyeong, the Naval headquarters in Hansan where Admiral Yi Sun-sin commanded naval forces in the Imjin War (Japanese aggression of Joseon in 1592), was the first naval headquarters. Sebyeonggwan Hall (National Treasure No. 305) was the main guest house building of Samdo Sugun Tongjeyeong Naval Station. Of the wooden buildings surviving from the Joseon dynasty, it is one of those that has the largest floor area.

The Historic Site of the Busanpo Waegwan is the place where the Busanpo Waegwan was located during the early Chosun Dynasty - (Joseon Dynasty). The Chosun Dynasty established waegwans, areas where Japanese activities were only allowed to be carried out, including Japanese delegations and merchants engaging in diplomatic activities and trade. The Chosun Dynasty launched the first waegwans in Jepo (currently Ungcheon, Jinhae) and Busanpo (currently Beomil-dong, Busan) in 1407. Later, it launched one in Yeompo (currently Yeompo-dong, Ulsan) in 1418. The Saryangjin Waebyeon, a Japanese riot broke out in 1544, led to the closing of the waegwans in Jaepo and Yeompo. Later on, the Busanpo Waegwan closed in the aftermath of Japanese invasions into Korea during the Imjin War. The Domopo Waegwan was established after, but it was also closed after the Choryang Waegwan (currently Yongdusan Park area) was established in 1678.

The Pukkwan Victory Monument (full name the "Ming-Joseon Hamgyongdo Imjin righteous army victory monument") is a stone stele written in Classical Chinese commemorating a series of Korean military victories between 1592 and 1594 against the invading army of Japan during the Imjin War. It was subsequently taken to Japan during the Japanese occupation of Korea during the Russo-Japanese War of 1905. It was eventually discovered on the grounds of Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo, prompting a Korean outcry that it be returned. In a ceremony on 12 October 2005, it was turned over to officials from South Korea, who returned it to its original location, which is now in North Korea. The Korean name is commonly translated as great victory at Pukkwan. It is often referred to as the Bukgwan Victory Monument in South Korea. The 187 cm tall and 66 cm wide stela has 1500 characters detailing the actions of the volunteer army.
