Japanska invazija Koreje sastojala se od dve odvojene, ali povezane operacije: početna invazija 1592. godine, kratko primirje 1596. i druga invazija 1597. godine. Sukob je okončan 1598. povlačenjem japanskih snagaTurnbull, Stephen. Samurai Invasions of Korea 1592–1598, sa Korejskog poluostrva nakon vojne mrtve tačkeHistory of the Ming chapter 322 Japan "前後七載 (For seven years)，喪師數十萬 (Hundreds of thousands of soldiers were killed)，糜餉數百萬 (Millions of cost of war was spent)，中朝與朝鮮迄無勝算 (There were no chances of victory in China and Korea)，至關白死兵禍始休。 (By Hideyoshi's death ended the war.)" u južnim primorskim provincijama Koreje. "Korean and Chinese forces were able to hold off the Japanese troops and confine the fighting to the southern provinces."
Invazije je pokrenuo Tojotomi Hidejoši s namerom osvajanja Korejskog poluostrva i Kine, kojima su vladale dinastije Čoson i Ming. Japan je brzo uspeo da zauzme velike delove Korejskog poluostrva, ali doprinos kineskih pojačanja,Turnbull, Stephen. 2002, Turnbull, Stephen. 2002, p. 134, "(Korean) war minister Yi Hang-bok pointed out that assistance from China was the only way Korea could survive." kao i napadi Čosonske flote na japansku opskrbnu flotu duž zapadne i južne obale "His naval victories were to prove decisive in the Japanese defeat, although Yi was to die during his final battle in 1598.""Yi's successes gave Korea complete control of the sea lanes around the peninsula, and the Korean navy was able to intercept most of the supplies and communications between Japan and Korea"Elisonas, Jurgis.

Nakon toga, sa gerilskim ratovima vođeni protiv Japanaca s neredovnim snagama (civilnim milicijama Čosona) "The righteous armies that appeared in 1592 smashed the local rule distributed across Korea's eight provinces by the Japanese military. The righteous army activities were one of the most important factors for the frustration of the Toyotomi regime's ambition to subjugate Ming China and extend dominion over Korea." i problemima sa snabdevanjem koji su pogađali obe strane, ni japanske, ni združene snage Ming i Čoson nisu uspele da uspostave uspešnu ofanzivu ili steknu bilo kakvu dodatnu teritoriju, što je rezultiralo vojnim zastojem. Prva faza invazije trajala je od 1592. do 1596. godine, i tome su sledili na kraju neuspešni mirovni pregovori između Japana i Minga između 1596. i 1597. godine.
Godine 1597. je Japan obnovio svoju ofanzivu napavši Koreju drugi put. Obrazac druge invazije je u velikoj meri nalik na prvu. Japanci su imali početne uspehe na kopnu, osvojivši nekoliko gradova i tvrđava, samo da bi bili zaustavljeni i primorani da se povuku u južne primorske oblasti poluostrva. Međutim, združene snage Minga i Čosona nisu mogle da izbace Japance iz njihovih preostalih tvrđava i utvrđenih položaja u južnim priobalnim oblastima,Annals of the Joseon Dynasty Korean language http://sillok.history.go.kr/id/kna_13110012_007 Turnbull, Stephen. 2002, p. 222.

Sa Hidejošijevom smrću 1598. godine, ograničenim napretkom na kopnu i stalnim prekidima opskrbnih linija od strane Čosonove mornarice, novo upravno Veće pet poglavara je naredilo japanskim snagama u Koreji da se povuku u Japan. Konačni mirovni pregovori između strana usledili su nakon toga i trajali su nekoliko godina, što je na kraju rezultiralo normalizacijom odnosa.Turnbull, Stephen; Samurai Invasions of Korea 1592–1598,
