About
"The year 1543 market the beginning of a new global consciousness in Japan with the arrival of storm-blown Portuguese merchants on Tanegashima Island in southern Japan. Other Portuguese rapidly followed and Japan became aware of a world beyond India. The Portuguese brought with them the musket, which was quickly copied and began to change Japanese warfare. Francis Xavier arrived in 1549 and Other Christian missionaries soon after. This is not a new story but it is the first time that Japanese, Portuguese and other European accounts have been brought together and presented in English."--BOOK JACKET.
