*''Japanese'': 大清風俗記 ''(Dai Shin fuuzoku ki)''
The ''Dai Shin fūzokuki'' (‘Record of Customs of the Great Qing’) is an official report about the [[Qing Empire]] compiled by [[Satsuma han]] on the orders of [[Shogun]] [[Tokugawa Yoshimune]] and submitted to him in [[1719]]. Also known as ''Chūka no gi ni tsuki mōshiagemisōrō oboe'' (‘Memorandum Regarding Matters of the Central Realm’), it consists of 34 sections and was compiled based on a number of audiences in which [[Shimazu Yoshitaka]], lord of Satsuma, questioned [[Kingdom of Ryukyu|Ryukyuan]] royal court officials on a range of topics pertaining to Qing dynasty China.
In describing the report, historian Isoda Michifumi highlights that it would have provided Japanese readers with a "global" awareness of the existence in the world of alternative modes of governance, social class, urban organization, etc., differing from those which were normative in Japan.
