A World Elsewhere: Europe's Encounter With Japan in the 16th and 17th Centuries by Derek Massarella (OOP 1990 Hardcover Edition)
A World Elsewhere explores the early interactions between Europeans and Japan, focusing on the period of contact between 1543 and 1633. It examines the impact of the arrival of the Portuguese in Japan, including the introduction of firearms and the subsequent rise of the arquebus factory of Sakai, and the subsequent influence of other European powers like the East India Company.
Massarella delves into the Amboyna Massacre of 1623, a pivotal event that highlighted the tensions and conflicts between European powers in the spice trade and the Japanese role in it.
The result is a fascinating case study of cross-cultural contact and the English and European presence in 'a world elsewhere.'
