Hue – Exhibition “Trade Relation between Japan and Vietnam in History”
Chi Le 21:47, 2017/02/26
Exhibition of antiquities reflecting the close trade relation between Japan and Vietnam in the 17th and 18th centuries.
Celebrating the Emperor and Empress of Japan on their visit to Hue at the beginning of March, 2017, the exhibition on “Trade relation between Japan and Vietnam in history” will be held at the Hue Royal Antiquities Museum.
In history, the trade relation between Japan and Vietnam had been established and developed since the late of XVIth century, especially in the period of the Shuin-sen trade (Japanese ship-licensed trade). In this period, Japanese merchant ships were granted Shuin-jo (Commercial license for merchant ships) by Shogunate government of Japan to go abroad for doing business. They imported minerals into Vietnam (former Dai Viet) and bought pottery, frankincense, silk and agricultural products from Dai Viet to transport to Japan.
The exhibition on “Trade relation between Japan and Vietnam in history” will introduce antiquities reflecting the close relation between Japan and Vietnam in trading between the XVII and XVIII centuries.
The exhibition is held with the support in part of Vietnam National Museum of History for the loan of some exhibits.
The exhibitionwill open on 27 Feb and be on display until 05 May 2017, 7 am – 5.30 pm at Hue Royal Antiquities Museum, 03 Le Truc Str, Hue city.
