| Description |
Nederlands: In oktober 1804 vaart het Russische schip Nadezhda (Hoop) de haven van Nagasaki binnen. Aan boord is de gezant Nicolai Petrovich Rezanov (1764-1807) (de middelste figuur op de hier afgebeelde Japanse prent), die handelsbetrekkingen met Japan aan wil knopen. De Japanse autoriteiten zijn erg wantrouwig en spreken bovendien Rezanov’s taal niet, en daarom fungeert het Nederlandse opperhoofd Hendrik Doeff (1777-1835) als tussenpersoon. Doeff doet alsof hij de Russen helpt, maar doet ook zijn uiterste best daar waar mogelijk de onderhandelingen te saboteren. Na maanden wachten antwoord de Japanse regering dat ze niet bereid zijn handelsbetrekkingen te openen met de Russen. Rezanov vertrekt, maar stuurt een strafexpeditie geleid door de marineofficieren Nikolai Khvostov en Gavriil Davidov naar Noord Japan (het Khvostov-Davidov incident (1806-1807) English: In October 1804, the Russian ship Nadezhda (Hope) entered the port of Nagasaki. On board was the envoy Nicolai Petrovich Rezanov (1764-1807) (the man standing in the middle of the Japanese print on view here) who wanted to engage in trading relations with Japan. The Japanese authorities were very suspicious and, moreover, they did not speak Rezanov’s language. Therefore, the Dutch supreme headman or ‘Opperhoofd’ Hendrik Doeff (1777-1835) acted as intermediary. Doeff pretended to help the Russians, but also did his utmost to sabotage the negotiations in every possible way. After having kept them waiting for months, the Japanese replied that they were not prepared to enter into negotiations with the Russians. Rezanov left, but sent a punitive expedition to North Japan under the command of the naval officers Nicolai Khvostov and Gravriil Davidov (the Khvostoc-Davidov incident). |
