Map of the bay of Nagasaki and Deshima.

View of the bay of Nagasaki, with Dutch and Portuguese ships.

On the right the blockade in the form of a floating pontoon bridge, which the Japanese put in place to prevent the Portuguese from leaving.

One of the Portuguese vessels is the 'Sao Joao Baptista', while the Dutch vessels are almost certainly 'Het Witte Paard' and 'Witte Valk', belonging to the Dutch East India Company (VOC).

Depicted on the left is the island of Deshima with on the shore the encampments of the daimyo Arima, Hosogawa and Murayama.
