| Research Abstract |
Compared with Japanese official embassies to Tang China, there exist only very few studies on Japanese official embassies sent to Ming China during the Muromachi period, i.e. the formative period of traditional culture in Japan, while even basic issues are still not revealed. Therefore, this project aimed to perform fundamental historical research concentrating mainly on the activity of Japanese embassies in Ming China.
Concretely, in this project we have carefully examined the records and diaries of Buddhist monks who became envoys and compared our findings with the results of fieldworks in China. Further, we have also looked at tributary embassies from other countries and territories to Ming China and compared their activities with that of the Japanese embassies. As a result of this historical-comparative research, we were able to reveal the historical nature of Japanese embassies to Ming China in the context of diplomacy in Pre-modern East Asia.
