The above poem is cited to demonstrate proof that even the remote territories of Ryūkyū have been civilized by Japanese customs.
Since people from that country occasionally come to Japan as envoys and are seen by many people, their portraits are not included here. ○ The tributes presented by the Ryūkyū king include swords, fine horses, jukōtai incense, ambergris, incense cakes, taihefu cloth, bashōfu cloth, mother-of-pearl tables, woolen cloth, silk crepe, awamori liquor, and so forth. The return gifts consist of 500 pieces of silver, 500 bundles of cotton, 200 pieces of silver for the chief envoy, 10 sets of seasonal clothing, and 300 pieces of silver for the entire delegation.
