History


in the footsteps of the Dutch sailors.

画像
Kuroshima
In the year 1600, a foreign ship foundered on the coast of Bungo (present-day Oita Prefecture). This was “De Liefde," and its arrival marked the beginning of a long history of exchange between the Netherlands and Japan.
画像
Hirado Trading Post
In 1609, the Dutch, who had received word from Adams, sent two ships to Japan and received permission to establish a factory (trading post) in Hirado.
画像
Dejima Trading Post
In 1641, however, the Dutch East India Company (V.O.C) moved its factory to Dejima.
