Hospital farewell party in Nagasaki

anonymous, 1867

If we are to believe Albert’s correspondence, one of the main reasons Antoon went to Japan was to make money. The Japanese government paid him a generous salary. After working in Nagasaki for four years, he moved to Osaka and then Tokyo. Pictures of his farewell party show the Japanese custom of sending off esteemed guests with great fanfare.
