Nanjung Ilgi is the handwritten war diary by Admiral Yi Sun-sin (1545 ~ 1598), who is Korea’s the most famous war hero in the history. The entire series narrates events that took place during the period of war, in addition to admiral’s personal observations and commentary about the time and its controversial circumstances, which is considered to be a highly treasured description to Korean history.

The diary consists of seven volumes of notes written almost daily from January 1592 through November 1598, until days before Yi was killed in the last sea battle of the war. The diary also contains a number of poems, recited by Koreans even to this day, heightening its literary value, of which is hardly found in other historical remains. War tactics and detailed strategy using the famous Geobukseon (Turtle Ship) designed by admiral himself was also found here, attracting much attention from researchers.
