In [[1587]], Toyotomi Hideyoshi named the [[So clan|Sô clan]] of [[Tsushima province|Tsushima]] to be in charge of demanding [[tribute]] from the Joseon court, and to play a leadership role in preparing for Hideyoshi's invasions of Korea (and of the [[Ming Dynasty]]). After Tsushima sent a formal request to the Joseon Court, Korea dispatched a new mission in [[1590]]; led by [[Huang Yungil]], the mission was housed at [[Daitoku-ji]] and met with Hideyoshi at his [[Jurakudai]] mansion in Kyoto, where they delivered a formal letter (''kokusho'') from their king. After Hideyoshi took this as a sign of subordination, however, and Korea declined to send further missions, Hideyoshi launched the first of his invasions of Korea in [[1592]].<ref name=okayama53/>

Efforts by the [[Tokugawa shogunate]] to restore relations with Korea (and through them with the [[Ming dynasty]]), following these invasions, began with a series of ''Kaitô ken satsukan shi'' 回答兼刷還使, embassies (''shi'') sent in response (''kaitô'') to Tokugawa communications or overtures, and with the intention of repatriation (''satsukan''). The first of these missions took place in [[1607]]; the third such embassy, in [[1624]], repatriated some 5000-7000 Koreans who had been taken to Japan as captives in the 1590s. Many Koreans remained in Japan, however, including many potters who helped pioneer styles of pottery such as [[Arita wares|Arita]], [[Hagi wares|Hagi]], and [[Satsuma wares]].<ref>Gallery labels, Taichôrô, Fukuzenji temple, [[Tomonoura]].[https://www.flickr.com/photos/toranosuke/36892217611/sizes/3k/]</ref>
