Abstract

In this paper I have attempted to clarify the characteristic of the menus for the banquets held in Osaka for Korean delegations during the Edo period.<BR>Comparing the 6th Osaka banquet (1655) with the 7th one (1682) for the important officials of the delegation, changes were observed and the banquet for the 10th delegation (1748) tended to be simplified.<BR>Also, the delegates who arrived by ship were given food for the journey to and from Edo (Tokyo), and some of the attendants were supplied with food for two or more months when they remained in Osaka. At Osaka, there was the record that venison and whale meat sent by the Kii Tokugawa Household. The delegates were also invited to a drinking party by the Tsushima Household's officials in Osaka before they returned to Korea.<BR>Thus, each delegation was civilly received at Osaka, but the banquets became gradually simplified after 1682.
