This painting from the beginning of the Edo period, mid-seventeenth century, depicts a plan of the port of Nagasaki with the Portuguese galleons "São João" and "Santo André". These ships carried the embassy sent by King João IV, aiming to resume the relations with Japan, which had been interrupted in 1639. The embassy did not succeed, but the ships were allowed to departure on September 4th, 1647.
