Dirck Gerritszoon Pomp, alias Dirck China (1544-1608) was a Dutch sailor of the 16th-17th century, and the first known Dutchman to visit Japan.Pomp was born in Enkhuizen in The Netherlands, and was lodged with relatives in Lisbon in 1555, to learn Portuguese and train as merchant. In 1568 Dirk established himself as a merchant on the isle of Goa from where he visited China and Japan aboard Portuguese ships. Although the date of his first visit is not known, he sailed to Japan twice before 1600, and it is recorded that he arrived in Japan on July 31, 1585 for his second visit there, on the Portuguese ship Santa Cruz.
