 In the instructions we received, Koichi Watanabe met the plants of the Japanese knotweed genus, and that he went on a journey to follow the footprints of Japanese knotweed's journey, the countries he visited were U.K., the Netherlands, the United States and Denmark.

 Siebold was commissioned by the Dutch government to serve as a doctor with Dutch trading post in Dejima, Nagasaki, Japan, and Siebold was the first person to transport large quantities of living Japanese plants to Western Europe. By all means, please go out and get a manual.

 I was very interested in this photo exhibition because I read Orient Bunko 87, Siebold book published by Heibonsha, translated by Saito, and "Kiyuki Edo Sanfu".

The fact that Siebold Tsukiii, who came to Edo and stayed at Nagasakiya in Nihonbashi, taught Dutch studies and Western medicine, presented with a crest of the shogun of Habu Genishi, brought out the Siebold incident of Inozu, Japanese primrose (scientific name: Primula siebold Tsukiii), etc., did not register their names in Western countries.
