The Three Ports Incident, also known as Sampo Waeran (朝鮮語:삼포왜란)) or Sanbo-No-Ran ((日本語:三浦の乱)) refers to a riots in 1510 by Japanese citizens residing in Korean port cities (Dongnae, Chang-won and Ulsan). ==Summary== At the beginning of the Joseon dynasty, due to frequent attacks by foreign powers, the Korean government adopted an isolationist foreign policy and stationed troops near the port of Busan to enforce it. From 1407 to 1426, the Korean government modified this policy by gradually opening several ports to trade with Japan. By 1426 three ports were open to Japanese trade: Busan, Naei and Yeom. During this time, the number of Japanese residents of Korea surpassed 2000. The local Japanese government on Tsushima island assumed responsibility for governing these Japanese citizens, and exported cotton grown in Korea to Tsushima Island. Local farmers who owned the land on which the cotton was grown wanted to collect taxes on the cotton, but the Korean government, in an attempt to improve foreign relations with Japan, decided to exempt the Japanese from being taxed on the cotton. When King Jungjong of Joseon succeeded his half-brother King Yeonsangun of Joseon to the throne, the Korean government implemented reforms that included the elimination of tax breaks for Japanese citizens. Due to this increased tax burden, the Japanese petitioned the government on Tsushima Island for relief. Japan had ships off the Korean coast to enforce laws and provided military support to Japanese citizens living in Korea. In April 1510, two Japanese men, Obarishi and Yasko, led between 4000 and 5000 men in an attack on Busan, Naei, Yeom, and the castle located at Naei. A military general stationed at Busan, U-Jeung Lee (李友曾), was killed and the leader at the Naei port, Sae-Gyun Kim (金世鈞), was kidnapped. Dam-Nyeon Yu (柳聃年) and Hyeong Hwang (黃衡) were immediately sent by the Korean government to suppress the riots. As a result, the son of Sō Yoshimori (宗義盛), the governor of Tsushima Island, was killed and the riots were subdued.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=:::::조선왕조실록의 홈페이지에 오신 것을 환영합니다.::::: )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sampo Waeran」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
