Before the establishment of ancient states, people living near the shores of East Sea engaged in exchanges with each other through seaways. It was in late 6th century when East Sea began serving as a channel for international exchanges and communication on the national level. Relations between Goguryeo and Wae across East Sea were followed by exchanges between Balhae and Japan. The title provides basic information regarding research on exchanges between Goguryeo/Balhae and Japan. The authors from both countries wrote articles for the title, so that readers can look at the historical exchanges from different perspectives. Also, the title focuses on identifying the remains and artifacts in Japan.
