@Yun__Xie Here's the entry in one of the records of that embassy about their first (I think?) encounter with "Hoffmann 和福満 from Leiden 茘田", in early 1862. ^^

There are many mss. of this diary in Japan. The attached images are from a ms. copy at Naikaku bunko (incomplete, fasc. 1 only; https://t.co/7b6kgjrqBQ) -- note the table giving numerals in various languages. For an early typeset ed. see e.g. https://t.co/GkYt4iDF4X. 3/ https://t.co/FPFe4vkkPA
