This paper is intended to provide a new perspective on the unifying theme of this symposium, “Envisioning / Describing a “World”,” through my study of sulfur distribution history. In this paper, I first discussed the formation and development of the “Sulfur Road” as a Pan-Asian network of sulfur distribution, of which the Japanese archipelago was an important component, from the 11th to 13th centuries. Next, I pointed out a major change in the form of the “Sulfur Road” that occurred around the 14th century. As a result, it was confirmed that there was a historical linkage between “Japanese History” and “Asian History” or “Global History” mediated by this “Sulfur Road”. If this is the case, then it is possible to draw a new aspect of “Asian History” or “Global History” through the study of sulfur distribution history.
