The seal soon vanished from history, only to be unearthed in 1784 in Japan. In the subsequent two-plus centuries, nearly 400 books and articles (mostly by Japanese) have addressed every conceivable issue surrounding this small object of gold. Joshua Fogel places the conferment of the seal in inter-Asian diplomacy of the first century and then traces four waves of historical analysis that the seal has undergone since its discovery, as the standards of historical judgment have changed over these years and the investment in the seal?s meaning have changed accordingly. 410 0$aBrill's Japanese Studies Library$v42. 607 $aChina$xRelations$zJapan 607 $aChina$xSeal$xHistory 607 $aJapan$xRelations$zChina 607 $aJapan$xSeal$xHistory 607 $aShikanoshima (Fukuoka-shi, Japan)$xAntiquities 607 $aJapan$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 676 $a327.52031 700 $aFogel$b Joshua A.$f1950-$0866834 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462620603321 996 $aJapanese historiography and the gold seal of 57 C.E$91934992 997 $aUNINA
