Copper in the Early Modern Sino-Japanese Trade
Brill (Verlag)
978-90-04-29945-0 (ISBN)
This volume sheds light on the important role of copper in early modern Sino-Japanese trade. 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.
Keiko Nagase-Reimer, PhD (2007) in the history of science and technology, Technical University Berlin, specializes in copper in early modern Japan. Her publications include Mining, Monies, and Culture in Early Modern Societies (with co-editor Nanny Kim, Brill 2013).
