HOLLAND JAPONISM in “The FIRANDO”
Hirado called “FIRANDO” at that time.
The reconstruction of the 1639 warehouse of “the Dutch Trading Post” in Hirado is a very important project within the Japanese - Dutch cultural ties that have bound the countries for over 400 years. This multi-billion yen initiative is not only very large in scope but also has deep historical meaning. Originally built in 1639, it is regarded as the first full-fledged western building in Japan.
”FIRAND Castle” Arnoldus Montanus (1625–1683)
The New and Unknown World
Matsura Shigenobu (1549-1614),26th domain head in Hirado built big castle called “Hinotake-castle”(1559).
This castle described book, “The New and Unknown World” written by Arnoldus Montanus. It showed that Hirado was big city in the west part pf Japan at that time. The local rulers of Matsura clan had a good relationship with Dutch, and they did the trade. Through the Dutch, a lot of Europe and south east Asia culture came in Hirado.

次のHOLLAND JAPONISM の舞台となる平戸は九州、日本の最西端にある。
現在人口約３６０００人、長崎県に属するが、明治までは平戸として存在していた。 自然がとても豊かであり、いくつかの島で成り立つ平戸。
ここはかつて西の都、”フィランド”と呼ばれ、1６世紀、唯一世界に開いている場所であった。
１５５０年フランシスコ・ザビエルがやってきてカトリック布教をはじめ、生月という島で初めて聖歌、西洋音楽が歌われた場所でもある。
この平戸にてオランダ東インド会社( V.O.C.) は1639年日本で初めての西洋の建物、オランダ商館を建てる。1605年から1641年江戸幕府にこの商館が破壊されるまで、オランダを中心に自由な貿易が繰り広げられた。鎖国でないので、いろんな国の人々が自由に暮らし、現在では想像ができないほど様々な文化が存在した。それゆえに豊かな物語が存在する”フィランド”、平戸。
これから少しづつその物語をお話ししていきます。
The next stage of HOLLAND JAPONISM is “the FIRANDO”
The days of Hirado, Capital of the West. The history of Hirado is one of overseas trade. As Hirado is located on the west tip of Japan, its connections with China and the Korean peninsula date back over 1000 years.
For centuries their community has been open to foreign exchange of which you can still find the remnants throughout the islands.
The Christian faith was brought to Hirado in 1550 by Francisco Xavier and gathered many followers.
One of Hirado islands, called “Ikitsuki” is first place to sing a carol and European Music.
The Dutch Trading Post was set up in 1609 in Hirado as a trading center for East Asia. Before Japan’s isolation policy was implemented, the Dutch Trading Post in Hirado was allowed to trade relatively freely, and many exchanges took place both in trading activities as well as in daily life. That’s the reason, Hirado is first city that was brought lots of new things and culture to Japan.
According to theses historical contexts, there are lots of first stories which happened in Japan has been existed in Hirado.
I am going to tell those stories on this blog.
