Tsushima han, based on Tsushima Island (today part of Nagasaki prefecture), was the domain of the Sô clan, and managed relations with Joseon Dynasty Korea.
At the peak of the Korea trade, the population of the domain was around 30,000, with half the population living in the castle town of Fuchû.[1]
The trade with Korea was quite sizable, amounting, in the 1710s-1730s for example, to 30,000 kan of silver, or roughly 8% of all silver coins minted in Japan during that time.[2]
