Indian Chamber of Commerce (Indian Chamber of Commerce)

Japanese: インド商務院 - インドしょうむいん(英語表記)Casa de Índia
Indian Chamber of Commerce (Indian Chamber of Commerce)
The central institution that controlled Portugal's overseas trade from the 16th century onwards. It originated as a trading institution established in conjunction with Portugal's advance along the coast of West Africa in the 15th century, and was originally called the Consejo de Guinea-Miana. However, when Vasco da Gama opened the trade in spices from the East, the name Consejo de Indo-Miana, or simply Consejo de Indo, appeared in 1503. The king already had a monopoly on the trade in gold from Africa, but in 1506 he also monopolized the trade in spices from the East, and all trade with overseas territories was conducted through the Consejo de Indo in Lisbon.
