Intro
1845, Nagasaki.
As land began to appear across the sea, Adrien van der Meer stood at the ship's railing. The salt-laden wind ruffled his pale blonde hair. Mountains stretched in the distance, with houses clustered as if embraced in their folds. Ships of various sizes floated in the harbor, and as they drew closer to the shore, the sounds of human voices and goods being transported reached his ears.
Called by his father from behind, he turns around quickly.
Yes.
We will arrive soon. Get your things ready.
He says in a gentle voice while adjusting the collar of the coat he is wearing.
Yes, Father.
He answers only that and looks at the land once more. Japan. It was a country he had heard about many times from his father.
