An incredible sea story that turns the Age of Exploration on its head, following the first Japanese man to set foot on North America and England.
On November 12, 1588, five young Asian men—led by a twenty-one-year-old called Christopher—traveled up the River Thames to meet Queen Elizabeth I. Christopher’s epic sea voyage had spanned from Japan, via the Philippines, New Spain (Mexico), Java and Southern Africa. On the way, he had already become the first recorded Japanese person in North America. Now Christopher was the first ever Japanese visitor to England, and no other would leave such a legacy for centuries to come.
The story of Christopher is almost utterly forgotten and has never been fully told before.
A Gentleman from Japan is a fast-paced, historical narrative of adventure, cross-cultural endeavor, intellectual exchange, perseverance, espionage and conflict in the Age of Exploration.

レビュー
"When you begin reading this book, you're not prepared for the emotional journey that unfolds. As you turn the last page, it's challenging to leave the world reconstructed by Thomas Lockley and return to reality. While many books fade from memory, this one, ironically dealing with forgetting, will linger in the minds of those who read it. Christopher's life intertwines with some of the most intriguing figures in English history, bearing witness to an extraordinary era where various Asian figures start making their mark in European societies. With a multifaceted approach, clearly a result of years of research, Lockley draws on Japanese, English, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, and Latin documentation to infuse each sentence with authenticity, leaving a lasting impact on the reader's spirit."--Lúcio de Sousa, author of The Portuguese Slave Trade in Early Modern Japan
"From Japan and the Philippines, to Cabo San Lucas and London, Lockley's tale is a traveler's delight! Meet the two young Japanese sailors who explained the East Asian invention of the compass to Londoners."--Robert Batchelor, author of London: The Selden Map and the Making of a Global City, 1549-1689
"Thomas Lockley's A Gentleman from Japan deftly weaves together the lives of two extraordinary individuals from the late 16th century: Thomas Cavendish, an ambitious English nobleman, and Christopher, a young Japanese man. The two met in a firefight, when Cavendish's fleet attacked the vessel Christopher was sailing on. Their entangled stories are told in vivid, exciting prose, unfolding against the backdrop of the Tensho Embassy, a historic diplomatic mission from Japan to Europe. The book brings alive a rich global history of trade, exploration, war, colonialism, and cultural encounter. A vivid portrayal of the interconnectedness of the world during a pivotal time in global history."--Tonio Andrade, Professor of Chinese and Global History, Emory University, Atlanta, USA
"The extraordinary story of the arrival of two Japanese and three Filipino youths in London in 1588, just months after defeat of the Spanish Armada, is well known to experts. Yet until now, no one has tried to gather information about them. Thomas Lockley focuses on one of the five, a Japanese named Christopher (birth name unknown), whose life he weaves together before, during and after his time in London, via a range of carefully selected documents written in many languages. No one will fail to be riveted, but more, by making Christopher the protagonist, Lockley forces us to rethink schoolbook tales of English maritime heroism in the age of Elizabeth I."--Timon Screech, author of The Shogun's Silver Telescope
"Thomas Lockley brings history to life in this incredible tale of Christopher, a largely forgotten Japanese person who traveled the world and witnessed piracy on the high seas. A real swashbuckling tale that should not be missed."--Diane Nagatomo, Associate Professor at Ochanomizu University
"Thomas Lockley takes the reader on a fascinating voyage of discovery, weaving the extraordinary story of a young Japanese man, Christopher, into the broader context of 16th century circumnavigation and global politics. As Lockley notes, many of the tensions between the West and East today stem from issues and problems that Christopher and fellow navigators experienced or witnessed four centuries ago."--Naoko Abe, author of 'Cherry' Ingram: The Englishman Who Saved Japan's Blossoms, The Martyr and the Red Kimono: A Fearless Priest's Sacrifice and A New Generation of Hope in Japan

"A fascinating, visceral dive into a time of chaotic discovery - when the world was bigger and civilisations were meeting for the first time. All told through the eyes of the people who lived through it. You can smell the blood and salt. Fantastic."--David Kelly, co-creator of Voices of the Past
"A superb dramatic recounting of the life of perhaps the first person from Japan - or indeed anywhere in Asia - to visit the British Isles. An epic tale of early modern travel, exploration and intrigue, rich in historical detail and told with flair. A real page-turner."--Chris Harding, author of The Japanese
"Lockley succeeds in focusing his history on the contributions of the 'oppressed, trafficked and marginalized' who have otherwise left no record. In the process, he tells a lively tale of maritime adventure, piracy, and advancements in science and global economics... a fascinating look into 16th-century geopolitics."--Kirkus Reviews
"Lockley draws on extensive research, combing through private diaries and letters, to depict Christopher's global odyssey. In so doing, he reminds the reader of the unsung contributions of marginalized people during the Age of Exploration. Recommended especially for students of geopolitical history."--Booklist
"Highly recommended for readers interested in the Age of Discovery. The author does an excellent job of placing Christopher's story in the greater context of the era's global history."--Library Journal
"Through characters like Christopher, Cavendish and others, Lockley paints a compelling picture of colonialism in action."--The Japan Times
"In his erudite and captivating work, A Gentleman from Japan, Thomas Lockley takes readers on a thrilling journey through the Age of Exploration, connecting the far reaches of the globe in a tale that reads like a novel yet is firmly grounded in meticulous historical research. Lockley's broad perspective and diligent examination of contemporary sources bring to life the early interactions between East and West, shedding light on the remarkable story of Christopher, the first Japanese man to set foot on English soil. This refreshing and effective approach to sharing history conveys a wealth of information, making A Gentleman from Japan a must-read for anyone interested in this pivotal era of global exploration and cultural exchange."--Frederik Cryns, author of In the Service of the Shogun: The Real Story of William Adams

This story is a pernicious one that greatly alters and exaggerates history! It is composed of the same drastic exaggerations and imaginings as the book titled Wabisuke.

Be careful everyone.
The author is misleading people into thinking this story is non-fiction, but it's all fiction.
A little research will reveal this.
The author calls himself a historian, but that doesn't mean he's sure that what he wrote is historical fact.
The source of the document was written on Wikipedia?
Stop joking.
Have you forgotten that anyone can edit Wikipedia?
Yes, anyone can edit it. Anyone.
However, if you read this story with the assumption that it is fiction, it's a very interesting story.
The author has a very good understanding of entertainment.

Christopher, born in Japan during The Age of the Country at War while Queen Elizabeth I was ruling the other side of the world, led an incredible, yet largely forgotten, life. Thomas Lockley remedies that unfortunate situation in his incredible book, A Gentleman from Japan: The Untold Story of an Incredible Journey from Asia to Queen Elizabeth’s Court. Christopher, with no memories of his parents, was probably a child pirate on a Chinese ship (where he learned how to read and write Chinese characters) and then as a crew member of the Spanish ship, the Santa Ana. His life changed forever when an English pirate in service of Queen Elizabeth, Thomas Cavendish, relieves the Santa Ana of its cargo off the coast of California. In addition to capturing goods ultimately worth one-third of the entire annual royal budget, Cavendish recognizes that the Japanese seaman Christopher is also a treasure. In a bizarre twist of fate, Christopher is elevated to the status of “gentleman”, and after the Desire sails into England in 1587, he is even introduced to Queen Elizabeth I. But that’s not all. Christopher’s identity continues to be reinvented as he also becomes known as a naturalist, a scientist, and a spy.
This well-researched book would be of huge interest to anyone interested in Japanese history and in history related to piracy on the high seas. Even though it is non-fiction, it has all the makings of a blockbuster movie. Who doesn’t love a good pirate story, especially when it is based on true facts?

“A Gentleman from Japan” is a non-fiction book following Christopher ( Japanese name unknown) born in Japan during the War Era as well as the explorer Thomas Cavendish and his escapades and how Christopher’s life changed after their encounter— the book follows Christopher as his identity continues to be reinvented as a naturalist, a scientist, and a spy. This book has two main themes in history that are being explored - The Age of Exploration and Christopher’s life. This book is well researched but for me a bit heavy with facts and information, it was overall an interesting read and would be of huge interest to those deeply interested in Japanese history, Japan's interactions with foreigners in the past as well as exploring the horrors of colonization and piracy. The writing was well-paced and kept me invested in the history of the time.
