| Description |
Nederlands: Deshima is een kunstmatig eilandje in de baai van Nagasaki met een eenvoudig te herkennen waaiervorm. Het is oorspronkelijk gebouwd voor de Portugezen. Nadat de Portugezen uit Japan zijn verbannen, dwingt de Japanse overheid de Nederlanders in 1641 zich op Deshima te vestigen. De factorij op Deshima bestaat voornamelijk uit pakhuizen en woningen. Het eiland wordt goed bewaakt, de Nederlanders verlaten het alleen in uitzonderingssituaties en voor de jaarlijkse hofreis. Alleen mensen met de juiste pas mogen naar binnen. In de regel wonen er zo’n 15 tot 20 Nederlanders op Deshima, het wordt door de meeste voc-ambtenaren gezien als een makkelijke post waar ze rustig hun salaris kunnen verdienen. English: Deshima is an artificial island in the bay of Nagasaki; its fan shape is easily recognizable. Originally, it was built by the Portuguese. After the Portuguese were banned from Japan, the Japanese authorities forced the Dutch to settle on Deshima. The Deshima trading post consisted mainly of warehouses and dwelling houses. The island was under close surveillance and the Dutch left only for the annual journey to the Shogun’s court and in exceptional cases. Only people having the right pass could go to the island. Generally, some 15 to 20 Dutch people lived on Deshima. Most VOC officials considered Deshima an easy post, where they could quietly earn their pay. |
