Love it, your experience as a guide and love of history means you can catch the things that people want to see in your posts. Really good job again. Explained perfectly too.
Very nice video! It may be interesting to know that the Dutch merchantmen were basically locked up on Dejima. They were not allowed off the island, unless it was for their visit to the Shogun.This trip usually took 2-3 months. They traveled from Desjima to Oda, Shimonoseki, then by ship to Osaka (stopping at various ports), Kyoto, and then overland to Edo. Some of the places they stayed the inn had western furniture, e.g. chairs (and some of those still do). When visiting the Shogun they brought gifts from the Netherlands, were interviewed by the Shogun, and had to perform all kinds of Western things, like dancing and making music. The influence of the Japanese culture in the Netherlands was quite impressive. Rich people had their portraits painted wearing a silk kimono. Japanese porcelain was highly valued. In Japan there were several schools that taught the Dutch language, so its students could read Dutch books, e.g. anatomic atlasses. It's a great piece of (now almost forgotten) history.
I missed this part of Nagasaki last time I was in town. The days I planned to visit it, the rain was crushing down so I skipped a day because I was soaking wet on day one. I loved the vibe of the city. Next time in have to explore the nature around the city. Thanks for your videos.

Thank you for your comment. I have many episodes. If you have time, please check.
Being Dutch, Nagasaki was one the best cities I've visited in Japan. The locals are very social.
Yes. I could feel the international atmosphere from Nagasaki.
