Jan Joosten van Lodensteijn
Jan Joosten van Lodensteijn (c. 1560 – 1623), or simply Jan Joosten, was a native of Delft and one of the first Dutchmen in Japan, arriving as one of William Adams's shipmates (the second mate) on the ''De Liefde'', which was disabled on the coast of Kyūshū in 1600.
==Early life in Japan==
The ''De Liefde'' departed Rotterdam in 1598, on a trading voyage and attempted a circumnavigation of the globe. It was wrecked in Japan in 1600. The 24 survivors were received by future Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu, who questioned them at length on European politics and foreign affairs. As with William Adams, Joosten was selected to be a confidant of the Shogun on foreign and military affairs, and he contributed to the development of relations between the Netherlands and Japan, thereby weakening the influence of Portugal and Spain.
For his services, Jan Joosten was granted a house in Edo (now Tokyo) in a part of the city that came to be called "Yayosu Quay" after him — his name was pronounced ''yan yōsuten'' in Japanese (short: ''Yayōsu'' (耶楊子)) — and the name exists in the name of Yaesu side of Tokyo Station. Although not allowed to return to the Netherlands, Joosten was allowed to take a Japanese wife and was given a permit to engage in foreign trade. He was privileged to wear the two swords of the ''samurai'' and received an annual stipend which placed him (along with Adams) among the ranks of the ''hatamoto'' or direct retainers of the Shogun.〔Corr, Adams the Pilot: The Life and Times of Captain William Adams. Pp.158〕 Joosten was said to be a drunk with a choleric temperament, and at one point was not welcome at Ieyasu's court.
