Dear listmembers,

After I became curious about the location of the former Japanese Trade
Mission (the Choryang Wei Kwan) in or near Pusan, I studied some documents
and came to conclusions, but also more questions. 

The conclusions are superimposed on a map of central Pusan, to be found in
a web-page I made about this subject:

My questions are:
1. Do you know if any study about the exact location of the boundaries of
this Wei Kwan has been carried out before and where I can find the results?
2. In the period 1607-1678 this Wei Kwan was situated in a different
location, as said in Sujong-dong, Dong-gu (presently part of Pusan City,
formerly Tongrae-bu). I like to find the exact location. Can anybody help me?

Regards,
Jan Boonstra
