The Netherlands and Japan mark 425 years of contact dating to 1600, when the Dutch vessel De Liefde ran aground off Kyushu — the survivors became the first documented Dutch presence in Japan. That connection eventually produced the Dejima trading post in Nagasaki, for over two centuries the only Western commercial foothold permitted in the country under the Tokugawa shogunate's isolation policy.
Enschedé has been printing security documents from its Haarlem facility since 1703, making the printer itself nearly as old as the relationship being commemorated.
