His literary writings were known to some extent among elites in Korea. When Matsuura met with Korean envoys in [[1719]], [[Cho Taeok]] (lead envoy on the [[1711]] mission) praised him for his writings, to which Matsuura responded with surprise that they should have heard of him. Incidentally, Matsuura did not speak or understand [[Korean language]], and communicated with the Koreans either through Amenomori, who served as interpreter, or through writing in [[classical Chinese]], which both sides understood.<ref>Lee, 144-145.</ref>
