By examining the demand for copper and the policy on copper procurement in Japan and China as well as the role of Osaka merchant houses, this volume provides a new slant on the “life” of Japanese copper – from production and distribution to consumption. In addition, papers on other significant traded products such as sugar, seafood, and books give us a better understanding of Sino-Japanese trade overall. The latest discussions on this field, which were mostly published in Japanese, have been brought together in this book and made accessible to an English-speaking audience.  Contributors include: IMAI Noriko, IWASAKI Yoshinori, LIU Shiuh-Feng, MATSUURA Akira, and Keiko NAGASE-REIMER.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword - Regine Mathias Acknowledgements - Keiko Nagase-Reimer Notes List of Figures, Tables and Maps Glossary About the Contributors Main Copper Transportation Routes in Japan and China  1 Introduction - Keiko Nagase-Reimer 2 Copper in Edo-Period Japan - Imai Noriko 3 The Akita Domain and Osaka Merchant Houses at the Time of the Establishment of the Meiwa Copper Agency - Iwasaki Yoshinori 4 “There’s Method in the Madness”: A New Approach to the Early Modern Sino-Japanese Copper Trade - Keiko Nagase-Reimer 5 Copper Administratioin Reform and Copper Imports from Japan in the Qianlong Reign of the Qing Dynasty - Liu Shiuh-Feng 6 The Trade in Dried Marine Products from Nagasaki to China during the Edo Period - Matsuura Akira 7 The Import of Chinese Sugar in the Nagasaki Junk Trade and Its Impact - Matsuura Akira 8 Imports and Exports of Books by Chinese Junks in the Edo Period - Matsuura Akira  References Index of Names Index of Places","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210673480023,"sku":"9789004299450","price":116.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/copper-in-the-early-modern-sino-japanese-trade-9789004299450","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
