It is fundamental to the understanding of the process of international trade in the Edo period to study the merchandise brought by Dutch vessels to Nagasaki and the mechanics of its distribution. In this article, the process of trade, the variety, quantities and selling methods of the merchandise (compagnies goederen) traded in 1814 by the Charlotta are presented as one example. Both Japanese and Dutch sources have been referred to. The Charlotta was an English ship which came to Nagasaki harbor from Batavia which at that time was governed by Great Britain. The ship was charged with the special mission of taking over Deshima. Opperhoofd Hendrik Doeff in the Dutch factory at Deshima, however, blocked the intended takeover of the factory and maintained the usual system of trade between Japan and Holland. Only Opperhoofd Doeff, some members of the factory, and five Dutch interpreters knew that the Charlotta was an English ship. The Japanese called it a "Dutch Ship". In this article, the merchandise trading processes are discussed by referring to both Dutch (Dagregister) and Japanese (Manki-cho 万記帳) sources, and some original documents (Cognossement, Oranda-sen Tumini-mono 阿蘭陀船積荷物, Tanmono-kire-hon 端物切本 and some trade books) are introduced. Then each item of merchandise is studied in detail. Although the trading of merchandise transported by an English ship is extraordinary, this article shows by referring to both Japanese and Dutch sources that the process of trade followed the system usually adhered to between Japan and Holland.
