This comprehensive and interdisciplinary volume delves into the intricate web of trade connections within East Asia and its outward expansion from 1550 to 1800. Drawing upon the expertise of art historians, historians, and ethnomusicologists, it sheds new light on the multifaceted dynamics of this era. While not an exhaustive encyclopedia, the selected topics herein significantly enhance our understanding of the intricate trade landscape. Throughout the book, multi-part trade structures are unearthed, showcasing the intricate interplay of European powers within the Asian trade nexus. Visual goods, including lacquerwares, paintings, prints, musical instruments, textiles, ivory sculptures, unfired ceramic portrait figurines, and Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Southeast Asian ceramic vessels, take center stage, emphasizing the significance of Asian industries producing multiples and the rhetorical charge that accompanies these goods as they traverse different regions. Moreover, everyday commodities such as contraband mercury, used in silver refinement, are meticulously documented, shedding light on the intricate trans-Pacific trade networks. By weaving together merchant networks, trade goods, and the visual aesthetics of these objects, this richly illustrated book unveils the Asian trade engine that propelled the early modern visual cultures of East and Southeast Asia, the American colonies, and Europe. It serves as a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts alike, offering a deeper appreciation of the complex tapestry of global trade during this pivotal period.
