| Description |
Nederlands: Een hekbeeld is een versiering aan de achterzijde van een zeilschip. Dit hekbeeld stelt de beroemde van oorsprong Nederlandse denker Desiderius Erasmus (1469-1536) voor. Wanneer de Liefde in 1600 in Japan arriveert, nemen de lokale autoriteiten het in beslag. William Adams (1564-1620), de Engelse stuurman van het schip, weet het hekbeeld uit Japanse handen te houden. Het komt uiteindelijk terecht in een tempel ten Noorden van Tokyo waar het jarenlang vereerd wordt als Kateki, de beschermheilige der scheepsbouwers. Pas in 1926 ontdekt men de ware betekenis van het beeld dat Erasmus voorstelt en wordt het overgebracht naar het Nationaal Museum in Tokyo. De foto toont een replica van het hekbeeld. English: A colorful figurehead decorates the stern of a sailing vessel. This figurehead features the Rotterdam born philosopher Desiderius Erasmus (1469-1536). When De Liefde reached Japan in 1600, the ship was seized by the local authorities. The English first officer, William Adams (1564-1620) managed to save the figurehead from the Japanese. Finally, it ended up in a temple north of Tokyo, where, for many years, it was revered as Kateki, patron saint of shipbuilders. The real significance of the figurehead representing Erasmus was not discovered until 1926 and it was then transferred to the National Museum in Tokyo. The photo features a replica of the figurehead. |
