This study focuses on sea region linguistics in sea region humanities literature. ‘Sea region linguistics’ is a field of study of the movement of language and language culture, which mainly deals with languages that cross the sea and foreign language cultures used in daily life. In this study, we would like to examine the common vocabulary used in the names of imported crops that have crossed the sea from Europe and settled in East Asia from the viewpoint of sea region linguistics. The purpose is to clarify the lexical characteristics that emerged during the influx and settlement of imported crops. As a result of the study, the imported crops leave traces in the names of the crops as they move across the sea. In other words, each transoceanic crops are labeled as having moved (region name and alien species). For example, names such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, and peppers are appropriate examples. It was also discovered that some of the crops that were introduced to China first and others arrived in Japan first.
