Dejima (1641–1859)

1641–1859 — Dutch traders, of the Dutch East India Company until 1799 and then of the Dutch state, are confined to this small artificial island in Nagasaki harbour, the only Europeans allowed to trade in Japan. Through it came the books on medicine, astronomy and gunnery that Japanese scholars called “Dutch learning” (rangaku).
