East Asia from 1400 to 1850 was a vibrant web of connections, and
the southern coast of the Korean peninsula participated in a
maritime world that stretched to Southeast Asia and beyond. Within
this world were Japanese pirates, traders, and fishermen. They
brought things to the Korean peninsula and they took things away.
The economic and demographic structures of Kyongsang Province had
deep and wide connections with these Japanese traders. Social and
political clashes revolving around the Japan House in Pusan reveal
Korean mentalities towards the Japanese connection. This study
seeks to define 'Korea' by examining its frontier with Japan. The
guiding problems are the relations between structures and agents
and the self-definitions reached by pre-modern Koreans in their
interaction with the Japanese. Case studies range from demography
to taxation to trade to politics to prostitution. The study draws
on a wide base of primary sources for Korea and Japan and
introduces the problems that animate modern scholarship in both
countries. It offers a model approach for Korea's northern frontier
with China and shows that the peninsula was and is a complex
brocade of differing regions. The book will be of interest to
anyone concerned with pre-1900 East Asia, Korea in particular, and
especially Korea's relations with the outside world. Anyone
interested in early-modern Japan and its external relations will
also find it essential reading.
