| Traditional Craft Exhibition at the Korean Cultural Center in Osaka
To commemorate the 60th anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic relations between Korea and Japan, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (Minister Yoo In-chon, MCST), in cooperation with the Busan Cultural Foundation, will reenact the historic Joseon Tongsinsa (Korean goodwill envoy) procession. The reenactment will begin at Gyeonghuigung Palace in Seoul and pass through Busan, Osaka, and Yokohama before concluding in Tokyo—symbolizing a new path of cooperation between the two nations.
The first reenactment will take place at 3 p.m. on April 24 at Gyeonghuigung Palace. It will include performances by traditional dance troupes, a symbolic envoy appointment ceremony, and a reenacted procession featuring traditional music and drumming. Notably, musical actor Nam Kyung-joo will play the role of the king, while the mother of Lee Soo-hyun, a Korean hero who died saving a Japanese citizen at Shin-Okubo Station, will take on the role of the chief envoy, adding emotional significance to the event.
From April 25 to 27, the event continues in Busan with street performances, a drone show, and another reenactment of the Tongsinsa procession. A replica of the Tongsinsa ship will sail from Busan to Osaka, following the original route, while hosting an onboard exhibition and cultural performances.
On May 13, in conjunction with Korea Day at the Osaka Expo, a commemorative arrival ceremony and performances will be held at a nearby pier, followed by participation in the Expo's official parade as part of the Tongsinsa reenactment.
In July, the Busan National Gugak Center will present a creative dance drama titled Yumado in Yokohama, inspired by the journey of the Joseon envoys.
The final event of the reenactment will be held in Tokyo in late September, featuring a grand procession involving over 210 participants, including local children, as well as a Korea-Japan Cultural Conference and various arts and culture programs.
