Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research sheds light on circulation of goods in the marginal areas of early modern Japan through archaeological surveys in Mishima and Toshima (Kagoshima Prefecture) and cataloging the heirlooms of an old family in Setouchi on Amami-Oshima (also Kagoshima Prefecture) held by the municipal museum and town library there.The archaeological surveys showed that trade from the Japanese mainland and from Okinawa overlapped in Mishima and Toshima.While cataloging the heirlooms indicated that a comprehensive survey of both archaeological finds and family heirlooms is necessary to trace the circulation of goods.Furthermore conducting a comparative investigation of the trade both between China, the Ryukyu Kingdom and Satsuma and between Hokkaido and China revealed the similarities and differences in trade in marginal areas.
