The Voyage of Captain John Saris to Japan 1613 is a historical account of the first English trading mission to Japan, written by Ernest M. Satow. The book details the journey of Captain John Saris and his crew aboard the Clove, a ship belonging to the East India Company, as they set sail from England in 1611 and arrived in Japan in June 1613. Satow provides a comprehensive overview of the political and economic landscape of Japan at the time, including the country's isolationist policies and the powerful influence of the Tokugawa shogunate. The book also explores the cultural differences between the English and Japanese, as well as the challenges faced by Saris and his crew in navigating these differences and establishing a successful trading relationship. The Voyage of Captain John Saris to Japan 1613 is based on primary sources such as Saris' own journal and letters, as well as official documents from the East India Company and the Dutch East India Company. Satow's meticulous research and attention to detail make this book an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history of early modern Japan and the development of international trade in the region.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
