The main subject of research is the literary work Nanjung ilgi (War journal), the medieval work written by Admiral Yi Sun-sin (1545–1598). It was created during the war with Japan (the imjin war) that lasted from 1592 to 1598. It is widely recognized as one of the most important works of Korean classical documentary literature, as well as the best Korean literary representation of a war diary. In his diary, Yi Sun-sin described the warfare and everyday life in the military camp. The historical value of these records is unquestionable. It elevates Nanjung ilgi to the rank of a cultural archive and one of the most important source of history. On the other hand, in his journal Yi Sun-sin included many records of personal content describing his own feelings, dilemmas and illness. Therefore, Nanjung ilgi seems to go beyond the status of an official description of a historical event and contains elements attributed to personal journals. To prove this assumption is the main subject of this article.
