   Why did the Tsji change the translation?

   • Rather, the tsūji consciously modified the translation, as the original order in Japanese was so harsh, and they feared that this might anger Dutch traders. Torii (1998: 167–168), Katagiri (2000: 191–202), Matsuo (2007: 133–136), Kimura (2012: 25–27), Yokoyama (2013: 57–59), and Tanaka-van Daalen (2015: 185–200) explain this incident in detail.
