I went to Tokyo Station to drink with friend yesterday.

The east area is named “Yaesu”

This name is from Dutch name, he lived in there 400 years ago.(Edo era)

Now his statue is there.(blow picture)

His ship was broken,and Japanese peple help him.

His real name is “Jan Joosten van Lodensteyn”

But his japanese name is”Yayousu” (He married japanese woman.)

It changed “Yaesu” between 250 years.

He was sailer, very smart man.　

So Japanese most famous emperor” Tokugawa Ieyasu” hired him.

He worked hard,and explain foreign trade to Japanese emperor.

Therefore between Edo era(250years), Only Netherlands can trade with Japan.
