Hendrick Hamel, 1630 – 1692
Premodern Korean Society Found in Hendrick Hamel’s Report of 17th Century Korea.On July 1653 a Dutch trading ship bound to Nagasaki drifted ashore at Cheju Island Korea. 36 survivors were detained in this country. 8 men escaped to Japan on September 1666. One of them Hendrick Hamel wrote a report about their lives in Korea. And he submitted it to VOC. The report was published in European countries. It became a valuable historical document. In this paper we discuss four characteristics of premodern Korea (unique punishment, a number of slaves, corruption of government officials, and frequent lying.) found in Hamel’s report in comparison with premodern Japanese society and modern Korean society.
