Arai Hakuseki was a [[Confucianism|Confucian scholar]] and influential shogunal advisor of the [[Genroku period]] (late 17th to early 18th centuries).
He was particularly influential in effecting a shift in [[Tokugawa shogunate|shogunate]] attitudes and policies regarding foreign relations, articulating the conceptual meaning and discursive value for the shogunate's legitimacy of conceptualizing foreign relations with [[Joseon Dynasty]] Korea and the [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryûkyû Kingdom]] in terms of a [[tribute|tributary]] relationship patterned after the [[Sinocentric world order|Sinocentric worldview]].
Among other reforms he advised implementing were the reversal of a [[1695]] debasement of the [[currency]], ...
Hakuseki made a point to meet with ambassadors or representatives from foreign countries on a number of occasions, including meeting with [[Society of Jesus|Jesuit]] [[Giovanni Battista Sidotti]] in [[1708]], with ambassadors from Ryûkyû in [[1710]], and with envoys from Korea in [[1711]].
