(2018-2023) run by ICREA professor Rebekah Clements at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. The project seeks to understand the legacy of the East Asian War of 1592-1598, also known as the Imjin War and Toyotomi Hideyoshi’s invasions of Korea. Aftermath
will be the first large scale investigation to combine Japanese, Korean, and Chinese sources in order to understand, not the war itself, but something which is arguably even more important: the aftermath and its implications for early modern East Asia. Especially,
our research is focusing on three themes; Social change / Environment and economy / Diffusion of Technology</span><span style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif"></span></p>
