was at length delivered, being ten beobs, or large pictures, for being
hung up in a chamber.
The 20th of October we departed from Miaco, and came that night to
Fushimi.[25] We arrived about noon of the next day at Osaka, where the

animating and setting on the rabble to abuse us. We here found the
galley waiting for us which had brought us from Firando, having waited
for us all the time of our absence at the expence of king Foyne. We
embarked in this galley on the 24th of October, and arrived at Firando
on the 6th November, where we were kindly welcomed by old Foyne.
During the time of my absence, our people had sold very little goods, as
