Abstract
This article focuses on the letters and reports about three French missionaries who began to stay in the Ryukyu Kingdom in 1855. Among a number of missionaries’ documents collected in the Paris Foreign Missions, only those written in 1855 will be mainly examined to clarify how their arrival to Ryukyu was realized, how their life was settled and how the Ryukyuan government took measures for their settlement. These documents will provide complemental aspects to what we knew already about the French missionaries stay in Ryukyu through the documents as the Kingdom’s official reports and the missionaries’ already published letters.
