Tsūkō ichiran (通航一覧) is a mid-19th century Japanese compilation of documents or "survey of intercourse" related to the foreign relations of the Tokugawas and the Tokugawa shogunate. [1]
These documents, descriptions and commentary encompass Japanese bilateral and international relations; and the work has been parsed into sections by country across 350 volumes. The text is organized chronologically within each sections. [2]
This historical survey was compiled in 1853 by the shogunate's chief foreign relations advisor, Daigaku-no-kami Hayashi Akira (also known as Hayashi Fukusai). [3] With the help of others, Akira was able to prepare volume which includes material from 1566 through 1825. [2]
The purpose of this project was to develop a policy guide based on two and a half centuries of diplomatic precedents. [1] For example, Daiyūin tono ojikki (Chronicle of Shogun Iemitsu) by Narushima Motonao (1778-1862) is cited; and one referenced excerpt presents an arguably convincing analysis:
The text was reprinted in moveable type and published in eight volumes in 1912–1913. The twenty-three volume appendix on coastal defenses, Tsūkō ichiran zokushū, was published at the same time. [2]
