Book Synopsis Tanegashima - The Arrival of Europe in Japan by : Olof G. Lidin
Download or read book Tanegashima - The Arrival of Europe in Japan written by Olof G. Lidin. This book was released on 2003-12-16. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year 1543 marked the beginning of a new global consciousness in Japan with the arrival of shipwrecked Portuguese merchants on Tanegashima Island in southern Japan. Other Portuguese soon followed and Japan became aware of a world beyond India. After the merchants came the first missionary Francis Xavier in 1549, beginning the Christian century in Japan. This is not a new story, but it is the first time that Japanese, Portuguese and other European accounts have been brought together and presented in English. Their arrival was recorded by the Japanese in Tanegashima kafu, the Teppoki and the Kunitomo teppoki, here translated and presented together with European reports. Includes maps, and Portuguese and Japanese illustrations.

Book Synopsis The Affair of the Madre de Deus by : C Boxer
Download or read book The Affair of the Madre de Deus written by C Boxer. This book was released on 2010-10-18. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fact that the Portuguese opened up the Far East to European maritime enterprise is well known, but the prosperity to which their trade attained in that region is less so, as historians have tended to dwell on the English or Dutch activities. The period of Luso-Japanese trade is therefore of interest in more ways than one, and in particular the first decade of the seventeenth century when Japan was being moulded by Tokugawa Iyeyasu and when the country was still open to foreigners regardless of their race or religion. This volume involved considerable research in four languages and most of the information is here presented to the English reader for the first time.
