In Japanese, the invasions of Korea are generally known respectively as ''Bunroku no eki'' 文禄の役 and ''Keichô no eki'' 慶長の役 after the ''[[nengo|nengô]]'', or imperial reign eras, in which they occurred. They are sometimes also referred to as the Pottery Wars (焼物戦争, ''yakimono sensô'') or Teabowl Wars (茶碗戦争, ''chawan sensô'') when emphasizing the role they played in bringing Korean ceramic technologies and styles to Japan.<ref>Gallery labels, [[Shokoshuseikan|Shôkoshûseikan]], Kagoshima.</ref>

The invasions are named similarly in Korean, where they are known collectively as ''Imjin Waeran'', or individually as the Imjin and Jeongyu Waeran, Imjin 壬辰 and Jeongyu 丁酉 being the [[Japanese_calendar#Cyclic_Dates|cyclical year designations]], respectively, corresponding roughly with 1592 and 1597.

According to some sources, as many as 50-60,000 Koreans were taken back to Japan as prisoners in the two invasions combined. Repatriation of captives became one of the key Korean demands in negotiations to reopen trade and diplomatic relations in the following decades. Such negotiations were at the center of three Korean embassies to Japan between [[1607]] and [[1624]], as well as two in [[1636]] and [[1643]]. In the end, only around 7500 Koreans were repatriated.<ref name=naito>Arano Yasunori. "The Formation of a Japanocentric World Order."

According to some sources, as many as 50-60,000 Koreans were taken back to Japan as prisoners in the two invasions combined. Many of those captured were potters, known as ''Kôrai tôji''<!--高麗陶磁-->, as ''daimyô'' competed to have these potters produce much-prized Korean-style teabowls for them. Many major (and minor) styles of Japanese ceramics trace their origins to this, including [[Satsuma wares|Satsuma]], [[Arita wares|Arita]], [[Karatsu wares|Karatsu]], [[Hagi wares|Hagi]], [[Asano wares|Asano]], and [[Takatori wares]]. The [[Shimazu clan]] of [[Satsuma province]] settled a few tens of Korean men and women prisoners of war in each of four or so locations within their territory, and by around 1600, a number of pottery kilns were in operation in these towns. [[Naeshirogawa]], one of these towns, continued to retain its distinctive Korean character well into the Edo period.<ref name=shoko/>
