The book "Amazing Information about the Seas Surrounding the Earth" is the stories of four Japanese sailors who were shipwrecked on Russian shores and returned to Japan by the Russian embassy headed by N. P. Rezanov, chamberlain of Alexander I's court. The path of the wanderers lay from the Aleutian Islands across Siberia to the capital of the Russian Empire, where they were honored with the highest audience. Thirteen years later, having circumnavigated the globe, the sailors returned to Japan. On their way they saw many wonders. Their unsophisticated, often hilariously funny stories (for example, about a visit to the St. Petersburg ballet) were recorded in detail by a commission of the Tokugawa shogunate created especially for this purpose and became a revelation for the government of Japan, which was closed to foreigners. The text has many color illustrations by a Japanese artist, who was a member of the shogunate commission and who, through the words of the sailors, tried to depict all the incredible things that they had seen in the distant lands and about which they
tried to tell the astonished officials.
