− | After passing by Shiraishi-jima, Shimo-tsui, and Hibi, the mission arrived at the port of Ushimado, where they again stayed overnight. Their reception at Ushimado was overseen by the [[Ikeda clan]] of [[Okayama han]], who housed the Korean mission at the Buddhist temple [[Honren-ji]] up until the 1650s, and then for the rest of the Edo period at the Ikeda's own ''[[honjin|chaya]]'' (lit. "teahouse"). The next major port where the mission stopped was Murotsu, in [[Harima province]], where they were lodged at the private ''chaya'' ("teahouse") of the lord of [[Himeji han]].<ref name=okayama56/> | + | After passing by Shiraishi-jima, Shimo-tsui, and Hibi, the mission arrived at the port of Ushimado, where they again stayed overnight.
