China, Korea, and Japan at War, 1592–1598: Eyewitness Accounts, written by J. Marshall Craig
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This volume represents another welcome addition to English-language scholarship on the Imjin War (also called the East Asian War by some scholars).The Imjin War (1592-1598) involved the invasion of Chosŏn Korea by a massive force of Japanese under Hideyoshi in 1592, followed by the intervention by the Ming Empire in 1593 which forced the Japanese to retreat to the southern coast of the peninsula.It ended, after a renewed offensive by the Japanese in 1597, in Japan's departure from Korea in 1598.Although the war was fought nearly entirely within the territory of Chosŏn Korea, it thus involved the armies of China, Japan, and Korea.In the modern era, it has become absolutely central to the historical memory of Korea, and to a lesser extent Japan, and also attracts significant attention in China.Although the broad question of the existence or absence of "pre-modern" East Asian national identity is the theme of the prologue and the epilogue, this is not a typical monograph -as indeed the author's choice of the terms "prologue" and "epilogue" over "introduction" and "conclusion" suggests.Rather than developing an argument over a series of chapters, the chapters in the book each introduce a separate eyewitness account of the Imjin War -with relatively little connection between them beyond that they are all examples of eyewitness accounts to the cultural interaction that characterized the Imjin War.The first chapter introduces the eyewitness account of Yu Xiyou, a captive Ming trader in Japan who provided information on Japan's impending attack to the Ming court, followed in the second chapter by the account of Yoshino Jingozaemon, a Japanese officer who wrote a detailed account of the war during his return to Japan in 1598.The third chapter discusses Swaemirok, the journal of Oh Hŭimun, a local yangban aristocrat who wrote in detail about the day-to-day experience of civilians caught up in the violence of the war; this

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
