Takeshima/Dokdo ---1692 document

Feb 11 The ship of Murakami sailed from Maigo and docked at Saigou(西郷）of Oki island.
March 24 Waiting for the wind calmdown, the ship starts sailing from Fukuura toward Ulleungdo.
March 26 at about 8 o’clock, the ship being docked at Igashima伊賀島(Islet near the Ulleungdo竹嶼),looking over toward the island, the island seems to be unusual;a lot of abalones were dried and it seemed somebody were fishing.
Fishermen of Murakami discussed what to do, but came to no coclusision, so next day they decided to land the island anyway.
March 27 Rowing the ship toward Hamadaura(浜田浦・道洞), they saw two foreign ships.One ship with about 30 crews passed by them, 15 to 16 meter off. the Murakami’s ship and went toward OOsakaura(大坂浦/苧洞.Looking at the beach, the small ship with two foreign men was about to pass by them,so they asked the two men to come over to their ship.One of them could speak Japanese so asked where he came from.He told he came from Chosun.So they told him not to come again because this was Japanese island .Then he told them his men did not intend to fish abalone at this island but they used to fish abalone,by king’s order, at another island north of this island,once in three years;however,this year they were drifted to this island due to the bad weather.The fishermen of Murakami told him that Japanese had been fishing abalone from long time ago and told them to go away.But he did not seem to go away.So they landed the island,Then they found the fishing implements and small ships they left last autumn at the hut were missing..So they asked what happened and the fishemen told that their men were using them:Chosun fishermen were using the fishing implements without consent.
The fishermen of Murakami, judging that it might cause conflicts if they kept staying at Ulleungodo, decide to retrun,bringing back some abalonesof skewering Chosun fishermen made, an traditional umbrella,a hood,malted rice(?) as the evidence of the invasion. And on April 1st, they returned to Hamadaura of Seki石州.
They reported what happened out there to the local government, the local government,judging the incident might cause serious issue, reported to the central government.But since this time since nothing substancially serious between Chosun and Japan happened, imaging that Chosun people left as soon as they fixed their ship, the central government judged that it was not an inssue to be taken seriously.ponta at occidentalism
