質問

The first two Tokugawa rulers followed Hideyoshi in favoring the ‘’southern barbarian’’ trade, but did so amidst growing difficulties abroad and mounting apprehension at home. The custom of sending licensed trading vessels (go-shuinsen, or ‘’red seal ships’’) overseas, which had begun in the 1590s, flourished after the turn of the century. These boats carried special passports, stamped with the vermilion seal of the shogun, authorizing them to engage in foreign trade. Without such a document, Japanese merchants could not lawfully participate in ventures of the kind. The majority of the vermilion seal ships sailed either to Vietnam or the Philippines, but some went as far Thailand with which country there was active trade until the 1630s.

⇒最初の二人の徳川支配者は「南蛮人」貿易に賛同して秀吉に追随したが、しかしそれは、外国との難題が増加し、国内での懸念材料が山積（内憂外患が増大）していく真っ只中で行ったのであった。認可を受けた大型船（御朱印船、すなわち、「赤い印章をつけた船」）を送り出す習慣は1590年代に始まったが、（17）世紀後半に入った後で最盛期を迎えた。

⇒これらの船舶は、外国貿易に従事する権限を認可するのに将軍の朱色の印章が押印された特別な許可証を携えていた。そのような文書なしでは、日本の商人は合法的にその種の投機的事業に参加できなかったのである。朱印船の大多数はベトナムやフィリピンへ航行したのであるが、そのうちの数艘は、1630年代まで活発な直接貿易が行われた国タイまで遠出した。
