■Chuo-ku History Shoyo Jan Jooss Ten and Leafde

　The Leafde is a Dutch merchant ship that drifted ashore in Usuki Bay in Bungo Province (now Oita Prefecture) in 1600. Jan Jooss Ten and William Adams (Anjin Miura) were on board, and they were heavily used by the Edo Shogunate in Japan. 　A statue of Reefde is on display beside the Maru Building in front of Tokyo Station [Photo]. This was donated by the Dutch government to the Japanese government on April 22, 1980, when the then Prime Minister of the Kingdom of the Netherlands came to Japan. 　This area is also close to the Yatsushirosu bank, where Jan Jooss Ten worshiped, and is also the area where Yaesumachi, Koji-ku, was once named after his name. Later, the name of the town "Yaesu" engraves an unusual history that was handed down from west to east Chuo-ku across Tokyo Station.
