- Description
- An audience with the Shogun, Japan’s military ruler, was the ultimate objective of the journey to the court. The supreme headman or ‘Opperhoofd’ bowed to the Shogun and a servant introduced him as ‘kapitan Hollandia’. Then the governor of Nagasaaki, who came along on the journey, made a gesture to indicate that the ‘Opperhoofd’ could leave. An audience generally took no longer than one minute.
