Description
[Machine Translation] This is the story of a proud Japanese man who drifted away from the isolation of Japan, lived in America for the first time, circumnavigated the globe for the first time, and returned home on his own! Twelve years before the arrival of the black ships. Manjiro, the son of a fisherman in Tosa, was 14 years old. On his first ship, he is caught in a storm and is lost with his companions. They were washed ashore on an uninhabited island and rescued five months later by the U.S. whaling ship John Howland. The boy, still a nobody, learns about the world for the first time.
