| Summary | "Reize van Maarten Gerritsz. Vries in 1643 naar het Noorden en Oosten van Japan" is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work chronicles a significant journey undertaken by Maarten Gerritsz. Vries in 1643, focusing on the exploratory expedition to the northern and eastern coasts of Japan, examining not only geographical discoveries but also the context of Dutch maritime endeavors in the region. The opening of this account sets the stage for the discovery journey led by Maarten Gerritsz. Vries aboard the ships Castricum and Breskens. Introduced are the motivations behind the expedition, including previous attempts deemed unsuccessful, as well as the hopes of uncovering new lands and rich resources such as gold and silver. Additionally, formal instructions for the voyage are provided, emphasizing the importance of careful navigation, attention to cultural interactions with local populations, and the overall significance of this exploration for expanding knowledge of Japan's territories.
