『笑雲入明記』를 통해서 본 明・日 교통로와 무역품 수급

초록

The aim of this article is to reconstruct the trade routes between Ming dynasty and Muromachi shogunate as depicted in the Shoun-Nyumin-ki. The Muromachi shogunate’s envoys dispatched to the Ming Dynasty were driven by the desire to profit from trading goods. As a result, these trade routes played a crucial role in facilitating the acquisition and transportation of trade commodities. This article not only focuses on reinstating the envoy-driven trade routes connecting the two nations, but also delves into the procurement of trade goods that actively traversed these pathways. Shoun's journey is divided into two distinct segments. The initial part encompasses Shoun's expedition from Kyoto to Hirado, where he awaited departure for Ningbo. This journey serves as a lens through which we examine the maritime trade routes within Japan. Moreover, during this journey, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of the trade commodities procured for tribute trade, with particular emphasis on sulfur. The second part involves Shoun's voyage to Beijing subsequent to his arrival in Ningbo. The trade routes of the Ming Dynasty in China revolved around the capital city of Beijing and spanned across the entire nation. Envoys embarked on journeys along the Grand Canal from Ningbo, navigating its waters in both directions. This article meticulously traces Shoun's expedition through the Grand Canal while also offering insights into the surrounding landscape.
