The book "Amazing Information about the Seas Surrounding the Earth" is the account of four Japanese sailors shipwrecked on Russian shores and returned to Japan by the Russian embassy led by N. P. Rezanov, chamberlain of the court of Alexander I. The wanderers' route led from the Aleutian Islands across Siberia to the capital of the Russian Empire, where they were granted an audience with the highest authorities. Thirteen years later, having circumnavigated the globe, the sailors returned to Japan. Along the way, they encountered many wonders. Their simple, often hilariously funny stories (for example, about a visit to the St. Petersburg ballet) were recorded in detail by a specially created commission of the Tokugawa shogunate and became a revelation for the government of Japan, which was closed to foreigners. The text is supplied with numerous colour illustrations, executed by a Japanese artist, included in the shogun's commission, who, from the words of the sailors, tried to depict all the incredible things that they had seen in distant lands and which they tried to tell the astonished officials about.
