I don't think this is a start class article anymore after my edits and expansions. I think it can be bumped up a level.
--PericlesofAthens 17:32, 31 March 2007 (UTC) This is a great article, but I don't think any Japan expert has contributed. Glaring error: Japan was not a tributary state of the Tang. The Ashikaga shogunate had a brief trade-purposed relationship with the Ming. There was a relationship by the Ryukyu Kingdom from the Ming onward that was more long-lasting and manipulated behind the scenes by the Satsuma Domain. Reischauer's great work, Ennin's Travels in T'ang China, is not cited, although there is a good Wikipedia article on the Reichauer translation and commentary.
