Red seal ships (朱印船, Shuinsen) were Japanese armed merchant sailing ships bound for Southeast Asian ports with red-sealed letters patent issued by the early Tokugawa shogunate in the first half of the 17th century.[2] Between 1600 and 1635, more than 350 Japanese ships went overseas under this permit system.[3]
