Pre-modern publications

The accounts of Choe Bu's travels in China became famous after King Seongjong requested that Choe submit a written account of his experiences to the throne.[6][8] His diary account, the Geumnam pyohaerok ("A Record of Drifting Across the Sea", 錦南漂海錄 · 금남표해록),[6][9] written in literary Chinese (hanmun), was stored away in the Korean archives.[30] Although it is uncertain whether it was printed right after it was written, it is known that Choe's grandson Yu Huichun had it widely printed in Korea in 1569.[30] A copy of the original print by Choe's grandson is now in the Yōmei Bunko of Kyoto.[30] Choe's diary became famous even in Japan during the 16th century when it was reprinted several times.[8] A copy of the 1573 Japanese edition is now in the Kanazawa Bunko of Yokohama.[30] These were woodblock print copies, but an early movable type print edition was made and is located in the Tōyō Bunko of Tokyo.[30] There was a Japanese publication in 1769 of Choe's diary accounts in a partial translation into Japanese by the Neo-Confucian scholar Seita Tansō (1721–1785).[8][30] Several Edo period manuscript copies of Choe's travel diary are also in Japan.[30] Other works written by Choe were compiled and published under the title Geumnamjip (錦南集 · 금남집) in Korea.[30]
