Topic: Einosuke Moriyama


In the News (Sat 28 Nov 09)

  
  Einosuke Moriyama - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Einosuke Moriyama (森山栄之助 Moriyama Einosuke) was a samurai during the Tokugawa Shogunate, and an interpreter of Dutch and English.
He studied English under Ranald MacDonald, and as “Chief Dutch Interpreter” was one of the chief men involved in the negotiations with Commodore Perry in regard to the opening of Japan to the outside world.
“A new and superior interpreter came with Saborosuke, named Moriyama Yenosuke [...] He speaks English well enough to render any other interpreter unnecessary, and this will assist our intercourse greatly.

I beleive the student/scholars then transported his ideas to their peers in the intellectual community of their day, and this in turn would effect the events of the nest few decades, the era when the Shogunate ended and the Meiji era began.
Moriyama was able to subtly steer both the Japanese and the American officials in their negotiations--he wanted the nation to be opened up to the outside world.

Many Japanese had heard of England and Holland, but knew nothing of the United States.
The official interpreter, Einosuke Moriyama, was proficient in Dutch but knew little English, so he depended largely on body language.
Although shocked by the newcomers, the Japanese authorities felt obligated to the noble and humanitarian effort of Captain Cooper who had placed a higher value on the lives of the Japanese seamen than on his business interests.
