Notes
This manuscript appears to be an abridged version of the official account of Manjiro and his companions, who were shipwrecked in 1841, reproduced for popular consumption. It contains watercolor illustrations, including a map of Manjiro's travels, a train, a steam boat, a sailing ship, furniture, and American clothing. Another section provides a basic dictionary, with kanji accompanied by approximate English pronunciations rendered in katakana. On one page, the English alphabet and numerals are reproduced in stylized cursive, possibly based upon Manjiro's handwriting.
