Edo-period UFO (with illustrations)
The document recounts the stories of Japanese sailors who find themselves in foreign lands after becoming lost at sea, as well as castaway foreigners washed ashore on the beaches of Japan. To the Japanese people, who at the time had been living in a prolonged period of national isolation, these exotic tales must have seemed very fantastic.
Among these stories is the account of a wrecked ship with a very mysterious appearance.

i wonder if the carpet matched the drapes (lol). echoes of Antonio Villas Boas's infamous encounter, perhaps?

Yeah...the bit about the red hair is suggestive.
