An Englishman who came to Japan once served as Tokugawa Ieyasu's diplomatic advisor and had a territory of 250 koku.

Designated as a historical site of Japan.

(Excerpt from William Adams’ Historical Traces):

Adams, who was in Edo, applied to return home, but was not approved until 1613.

Tokugawa Ieyasu was interested in Adams' Western knowledge and asked him to serve as a foreign affairs and trade adviser.

During this period, Adams also taught Ieyasu's staff geometry, mathematics and navigation.

In 1602, Adams married Ayuki (お雪), the daughter of Ieyasu's imperial merchant Magome Kaeyu, and they had a son, Joseph, and a daughter, Susanna.

Adams died in Hirado on May 26, 1620 at the age of 55. He was buried in the public cemetery near Hirado Merchant Building, which is Sakigata Park in Hirado City.

In addition, in accordance with Adams's last wishes, the Anzumi Mound was built on the top of the mountain where Edo Castle can be seen.

Later, Adams' territory was inherited by his son Joseph, who also inherited the title of Miura Anzhen.

Joseph later engaged in the red seal ship trade like his father, but disappeared from historical records after Japan entered the Seoul era in 1635.
