‘Koreans’ in Satsuma Domain
Abstract
Clements examines Satsuma domain&s;s control of ‘Korean’ potters, who were descended from people captured during the Imjin War of 1592–1598 (also known as Toyotomi Hideyoshi&s;s Invasions of Korea), and the incorporation of these descendants into ceremonial occasions. This example from Satsuma points to a wider pattern of Japanese authorities, from the shogun to numerous daimyō , receiving foreign guests in ceremonies designed to mirror the East Asian tributary model in which the superior authority (traditionally, China) received visits from surrounding vassal states.
