Nagasaki during the Tokugawa (1603-1868) was truly Japan's window on the world with its Chinese residences and Deshima island, where Western foreigners, including representatives of the Dutch East India Company, were confined. In 1785 Ōtsuki Gentaku (1757-1827) journeyed from the capital to Nagasaki to meet Dutch physicians and the Japanese who acted as their interpreters.
