There were twelve Korean Delegations to Japan during the Edo Period. These delegations were influenced by the political and economic climate. In particular we can see the influence of Hakuseki Arai's reformation policies. According to the "Souke Kiroku," the banquets for the important officials of the seventh delegation in 1682, were extravagant affairs in two parts. After the tighter budgeting implemented by Hakuseki Arai in 1711, the number of banquets for each delegation was limited to five, nor did the Tokugawa families attend the court banquet in the capital after the official giving and receiving of missals. Although the previous full format was reinstated for the ninth delegation, a shourtened one part version became standard for the remaining three. This was due to the declining economic situation and the decrease in Korean trade. The menus for the banquets held after the exchange of documents remained unchanged throughout, presumably because the government wanted to maintain its prestige. However, tighter budgeting is in evidence elsewhere.
