Description

Between 839 and 1403 CE, diplomatic relations between China and Japan ceased, yet a thriving trade network flourished across maritime East Asia. This Cambridge University Press study by Yiwen Li challenges conventional assumptions about the tribute system era, revealing how Buddhist monks and merchants maintained vibrant commercial and cultural exchanges despite political silence. Drawing on multilingual sources including poems, letters, transmitted images, and archaeological evidence, the book reconstructs six centuries of overlooked Sino-Japanese connections. Rather than isolation, the period emerges as one of dynamic interaction, where religious institutions and trading communities bridged the gap between two major Asian powers. Essential reading for anyone interested in medieval East Asian history, Buddhist networks, or the pre-modern foundations of East Asian commerce.
