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. Our research focuses on three themes; Social change / Environment
and economy / Diffusion of Technology. </span><span style="font-size:12pt; font-family:"Times New Roman",serif; color:black"></span><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif; color:black; border:1pt none windowtext; padding:0cm; font-size:12pt">For
