In the year 1600, a Dutch, ship, Liefde, dropped anchor in the

Adams was taken to Osaka for Examination by leyasu Toku

son and heir, Hideyori. Traits and skills manifested by the famished
ailing Englishman intrigued the nobleman who had assumed control
of the country and was scheming to consolidate his grip.
Born 1564 at Gillingham, Kent, England, Adams had been app
renticed in the mercantile marine at age 12. Afterward, he had ser

‘Miura Anjin*
The Japanese quickly bestowed the title Anjin (pilot) on Adams. From this estate at Miura, he acquired a surname. Miura
Anjin is said to have married the daughter of an Edo magistrate of
Denmacho.
He engaged in shipbuilding and helped the British East India
Company found a factory at Hirado. When the restriction on his
leaving Japan was lifted, he sailed to many parts of Asia as ship
owner and master. But he never returned to England, never surehdered his Japanese citizenship, and died in Japan May 16, 1620.
From his title Anjin Sama, the Japanese named a street in
Tokyo in his memory: Anjin-cho.
The Novel
From this rich material, the author has attempted to fashion
a novel. First issued in 1932, the novel begins with Adams and a
Dutch shipmate being transported by palanquin to Osaka. Along
the avenue through which they pass are crosses from which they
hang corpses of humans and the remains of what had once been
the corpses of humans.
Adams and his companion also fear they will be crucified.
When they are arraigned before leyasu, a Portugese Jesuit priest,
who had previously examined them, and wso acts as interpreter,
tells them, in Dutch, that they are charged with piracy, robbery
and murder upon Japanese seas. It develops that through fear of
the treat imposed by the Protestant newcomers, the priest has
suborned witnesses and woven a net of guilt around Adams and
his companion.
The wily leyasu, however, has other: Dutch interpreters at
hand, their linguistic skill unknown to priest and prisoners. The
upshot of the audience is the discrediting of the priest and the
beginning of favor to Adams.
leyasu lodges Adams in the home of a samurai. The daughter
of the samurai falls in love with Adams who reciprocates the pa
ssion. Adams wrestles with the problem of how to claim the girl
over the prejudices of the father who would not dream of besto
wing her on a man of lower rank.
Confounding the prejudices of the father, Adams has him
self promoted to samurai status. He claims the girl and thereby
botches the story. At this point, though the author goes on and
on, inspiration flags.
'
The author has obviously researched his subject, but his knowledge of Japan of the period is nevertheless superficial. Upon
meeting, nobleman shake hands with themselves, like Chinese. Sajnurai are alternatly identified as nobleman and called soldiers
even when they are not.
.
The superbundant dialogue tends toward bombast, the sce
nes are unvisual, the motivation improbable, a plot eonspicuosly
absent. The Will Adams story still awaits the telling by an author
of talent.

and murder upon Japanese seas. It develops that through fear of
the treat imposed by the Protestant newcomers, the priest has
suborned witnesses and woven a net of guilt around Adams and
his companion.
The wily leyasu, however, has other: Dutch interpreters at
hand, their linguistic skill unknown to priest and prisoners. The
upshot of the audience is the discrediting of the priest and the
beginning of favor to Adams.
leyasu lodges Adams in the home of a samurai. The daughter
of the samurai falls in love with Adams who reciprocates the pa
ssion. Adams wrestles with the problem of how to claim the girl
over the prejudices of the father who would not dream of besto
wing her on a man of lower rank.
Confounding the prejudices of the father, Adams has him
self promoted to samurai status. He claims the girl and thereby
botches the story. At this point, though the author goes on and
on, inspiration flags.
'
The author has obviously researched his subject, but his knowledge of Japan of the period is nevertheless superficial. Upon
meeting, nobleman shake hands with themselves, like Chinese. Sajnurai are alternatly identified as nobleman and called soldiers
even when they are not.
.
The superbundant dialogue tends toward bombast, the sce
nes are unvisual, the motivation improbable, a plot eonspicuosly
absent. The Will Adams story still awaits the telling by an author
of talent.
