Debunks long-held assumptions regarding the lack of contact between China and Japan between 839-1403 CE, arguing that a vibrant Sino-Japanese trade network flourished in this period as Buddhist monks and merchants fostered connections across maritime East Asia. Examination of Buddhist records, objects and images illuminates how this system worked.
