This book presents the exchanges between Japan, China, and Korea over a millennium, from the 7th to the 16th centuries. During this period, the imperial, royal, and shogunal courts of the three countries exchanged embassies laden with prestigious gifts and diplomatic messages, while Buddhist monks transmitted religious writings and Zen culture to Japan. At the same time, merchants traveled between the three countries with their ships laden with manufactured goods and raw materials, such as copper, sulfur, and mercury. In addition, precious fragrant and medicinal goods were transported from the Silk Roads to the far reaches of the Asian continent.
