What inference can you make about japanese attitudes toward korean culture in the late 1500s?

Japanese conflicts with Korea began when Japanese ruler Toyotomi decided to conquer China, and asked Korea for help, using its territory to have geographical access. Korea didn't help because it was ruled by Ming dynasty. In 1592, Japan invaded Korea, and used armies and modern weapons, which destroyed many of its arable land, and forced migration of Korean artisans and academics to Japan. Another major loss happened in the historical and cultural aspect, since many records were burnt along with several imperial palaces in Seoul.
