Descripción
Sumario:Nagasaki during the Tokugawa period was truly Japan's window on the world, with its Chinese residences and Deshima island, where Western foreigners were confined. In 1785 Otsuki Gentaku (1757-1827) journeyed to Nagasaki to meet Dutch physicians and the Japanese who acted as their interpreters. This volume examines the development of Dutch studies during the crucial 1770-1830 years as Gentaku, with the help of like-minded colleagues, worked to facilitate its growth.
