*''Japanese'': 勘合貿易 ''(kangou boueki)''

The ''kangô bôeki'' system, or tally trade, was a system under which [[Muromachi Period|Muromachi Japan]] and [[Ming Dynasty]] China engaged in official trade.

(Origins, System of How it Worked, History)

The system finally came to an end in [[1551]]. The Ming Court had been demanding for some years that "Japan" ([[Ouchi clan|Ôuchi]] imposter envoys dominated contact with China, so it was the Ôuchi and not the shogunate the Ming Court was actually in communication with) turn over the offenders in the [[1523]] [[Ningpo Incident]] (an incident in which Ôuchi and [[Hosokawa clan]] ships clashed in Ningpo harbor), and turn in all the tallies, but to no avail. Diplomatic discussion between the Ming Court, and the Ôuchi (pretending to represent the shogunate) then came to loggerheads for a time, until in 1551, [[Sue Harukata]] rose up against his lord and took control of the Ôuchi clan, marking the end of official relations between Ming China and Muromachi Japan.
