The Treaty of Gyehae was signed in 1443 between the Joseon dynasty and Ashikaga shogunate as a means of controlling Japanese piracy and legitimizing trade between Tsushima island and a Korean port. The daimyo of So Clan of Tsushima island was granted rights to conduct trade with Korea in fifty ships per year, in exchange for sending tribute to Korea and aiding to stop any Japanese coastal pirate raids on Korean ports.
