Richard Cocks : ウィキペディア英語版 | Richard Cocks
Richard Cocks (1566–1624) was the head of the British East India Company trading post in Hirado, Japan, between 1613 and 1623, from its creation, and lasting to its closure due to bankruptcy.〔"Cocks, Richard (bap. 1565, d. 1624)", by Anthony Farrington, "Oxford Dictionary of National Biography", Oxford University Press, 2004. .〕〔''A World Elsewhere. Europe’s Encounter with Japan in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries'', by Derek Massarella, Yale University Press, 1990.〕 During his time in Japan, he wrote a very detailed diary, relating the history of the trading post, the situation of Japan at the time, and the activities of English merchants in Japan, among whom was also the English pilot and samurai, retainer to Tokugawa Ieyasu, William Adams.〔''Diary of Richard Cocks'', with preface by N. Murakami (1899, reprinted from the Hakluyt Society ed. 1883)〕 The surviving documents of the trading post (letters, accounts and journals) are a unique source of first-hand accounts of Early Modern Japan through secular Western eyes.〔''The English Factory in Japan 1613-1623'', ed. by Anthony Farrington, British Library, 1991.〕 After the trading post was closed in 1623, Cocks sailed for England, but died at sea and was buried in the Indian Ocean. ==References==
