*''Korean'': 宣慰使 ''(Seonwisa / Sŏnwisa)''

Reception Official was an official administrative post within the government of [[Joseon]] Korea. Reception Officials acted as chief representative of the king of Joseon in the formal reception of envoys from the [[Ming dynasty|Ming]] or [[Qing dynasty|Qing]] emperors, from Japan and the [[Ryukyu Kingdom]], and from the governor of [[Tsushima]]. Interactions with Tsushima were a slightly later addition into the portfolio of this post, being added in [[1461]].
