abstract = "The Chosŏn Korea government preserved maps of the three ports in Kyŏngsang Province opened to Japanese presence and trade. Those images show the structures where Japanese residents lived and the Waegwan, or Japan House, where visiting envoys, traders, and ship crew stayed while in the open ports. Significantly, the Korean official who compiled these three maps also marked civil and military administration headquarters that were in or near the ports. He placed Japanese presence under the gaze of county magistrates and military officials. This composition reflected the state’s embedding of Japanese presence in military defense zones."
