日本是近代亚洲最主要的白银输出国。通过梳理相关史料及西方和日本学者的研究成果,从17世纪赴日贸易的澳葡、荷兰商船入手,考证16—18世纪澳葡、荷兰商船从日本运出的白银数量,以及日本朱印船从长崎运出的白银数额。在此基础上,分析中外学者以往结论的可靠性,兼及日本白银输出对亚洲区间贸易的影响。

Japan was the main silver exporter in modern Asia.Sorting through relevant historical records and the research outputs of Western and Japanese scholars,the author investigates the amount of silver transported by Macao' Portuguese and Dutch merchants from Japan as well as those carried by Japanese shuinsen(shogunate-licensed trading ship) from Nagasaki in the 16th to 18th centuries.This involves studying the merchant ships of Macao's Portuguese and the Dutch sailing to Japan for trade in the 17th century.On this basis,the author analyzes the reliability of the previous conclusions made by Chinese and non-Chinese scholars,and the impact of Japan's silver export on intra-Asiatic trade.
