*''Japanese'': 掟十五ヶ条 ''(okite jûgo-ka-jô)''

The Fifteen Injunctions were a set of fifteen rules or agreements that King [[Sho Nei|Shô Nei]], king of the [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryûkyû Kingdom]], was forced to agreed to and sign on [[1611]]/9/19, following the [[1609]] [[invasion of Ryukyu|invasion]] of his kingdom by forces from [[Satsuma han|Kagoshima domain]].

Of the Fifteen Injunctions, no fewer than five related to Kagoshima's determination to control, and benefit from, Ryûkyû's trade relations. Ryûkyû was forbidden from importing any Chinese goods other than those requested by Kagoshima; Ryûkyû was forbidden from sending embassies or envoys to any Japanese [[han|domain]] other than Kagoshima; the only Japanese traders permitted to trade in Ryûkyû were those bearing ''go-hangyô'' licenses issued by Kagoshima authorities; and the kingdom was forbidden from engaging in any additional independent trade.
