Supplemental Thomas Lockley on Christopher and his journey from Japan to England May 22, 2024

Show notes

This is an unedited recording of a conversation I had with the wonderful Thomas Lockley, about his new book, A Gentleman From Japan, which tells the story of Christopher, a Japanese sailor who wound up at Elizabeth's court. His journey, and the contributions he made to England, are a fascinating story, and if you want to learn more, check out his book, which is released on May 21 in the US.
