AB - For the Baekje, contact with East Asian countries was available only along sea routes due to its location in the mid-southern part of the Korean peninsula. It had trade back and forth with Liaodong, China using the north coastal routes in Western Sea under the reign of King Goee(古尒王). Chinese negotiation for the Baekje was achieved under the reign of King Geunchogo. Officials were appointed from Nakrang and Daebang as missions and crossed the mid-west sea from Jangsangot, Hwanghaedo with their help. The Baekje gradually used many sea routes heading for Shandong Peninsula from several areas on its west coast. It was not until under the reign of King Geunchogo that the Baekje started negotiation with Japan through arbitration of Taksoonguk of Gaya. For sea routes to Japan, it used North South routes heading for Bakdaman Bay of Kyushu via Tsushima from Jinaedong, Kimhae in the mouth of the Nakdong River or Dadaepo, Busan. Baekje had direct contact to Japan with Gaya excluded. It used sea routes to Japan via Tsushima from Geojedo after passing through the southwestern area of the Korean peninsula. In the 5th century, it had exchanges with the Yamato government and came and went to Nara after arriving at Naniwatsu of Osaka via the coastal area of the Seto Inland Sea. The Baekje had exchanges with Nanchao through sea routes crossing the western sea via Deokjeokdo and Yeonpyongdo from Dangjinpo and Pyeongsinjin of the Taean peninsula avoiding inspection by the navy of Goguryeo after the movement of its capital to Woongjin. It also used the Sadan sea route of the western sea heading for Zhèjiāng Shěng via Jusan Gundo via islands in coastal areas of the southwestern sea and Heuksando. Its missions had exchanges with southeastern Asian countries while coming and going to Nanchao. Also, the Baekje dominated sea routes leading to Japan via the western and the southern sea. It controled the sea routes heading for Gaya and Japan by establishing and opening Gun and Hyon in its coastal areas and islands. The Baekje perfected the management of its coastal routes including Daesajin, Hadong, Dadaepo, Geoje, Gangjin Bay and Haechang Bay of Goheung as ports of call. Sea routes of the western and southern sea connecting to Japan were under the control of Baekje until its collapse.
