| + | In the 1970s-80s, the early modern Korean embassies to Edo came to be seen as something that could be promoted in textbooks, cultural events, and political statements as a symbol of a long history of peaceful and prosperous Korean-Japanese relations. Today, events are regularly held on Tsushima, in Pusan, at locations in the Inland Sea, and elsewhere reenacting elements of these events or otherwise celebrating them. A collection of documents pertaining to the embassies has been inscribed as part of the UNESCO Memory of the World.<ref>This "Memory of the World" program is separate from UNESCO [[World Heritage Sites]].</ref> |
