The Namban Trade is packed with information and insight. Written initially for a Japanese academic audience, it is not dominated by a single argument but rather presents a masterful analysis of individual moments. While this means that it takes time and sometimes multiple readings to fully digest, the picture it presents is nonetheless compelling.[...] Oka has made an invaluable contribution to a new assessment of Nanban trade, and her study should be read by anyone interested in Japan's overseas entanglements . Adam Cullow, in Monumenta Nipponica 76:2 (2021). In this very well researched book, Oka Mihoko brings new attention to various established sources, risking interpretations that will certainly open fresh lines of inquiry. Her work makes this volume a fundamental contribution to current research on the subject of early modern trade and social networks in East Asia. Alexandra Curvelo.
