Japan-Korea Trade

Japanese: 日朝貿易 - にっちょうぼうえき

Trade between Japan and Korea. This section is limited to trade with the Joseon Dynasty (the Yi Dynasty), but for a general historical perspective, see the History of Negotiations between Japan and Korea under Korea, and for trade with the modern Democratic People's Republic of Korea, see the relevant country entry.
[Start of Japan-Korea trade]
Trade between Japan and the Joseon Dynasty began during the reign of King Taejo (Yi Seong-gye), the founder of the Joseon Dynasty. In 1392, King Taejo succeeded the King of Goryeo as King of Korea, and sent envoys to the Imagawa clan, the Chinzei Tandai (chief of the Imagawa shogunate), the Ouchi clan, the Ashikaga Shogunate, and others, requesting the suppression of the Wako pirates and the establishment of trade relations based on a system of friendly relations.
