The book "Amazing Information about the Seas Surrounding the Earth" is the stories of four Japanese sailors who were shipwrecked on the Russian shores and returned to Japan by the Russian embassy headed by the chamberlain of the court of Alexander I N. P. Rezanov. The wanderers' route lay from the Aleutian Islands through all of Siberia to the capital of the Russian Empire, where they were granted an audience with the highest authorities. Thirteen years later, having made a round-the-world trip, the sailors returned to Japan. On their way, they saw many wonders. Their simple, often hilariously funny stories (for example, about visiting the St. Petersburg ballet) were recorded in detail by a commission of the Tokugawa shogunate created especially for this purpose and became a revelation for the government of Japan, which was closed to foreigners. The text is supplied with numerous colour illustrations, made by a Japanese artist, included in the shogunal commission, who, from the words of the sailors, tried to depict all the incredible things that they had seen in distant lands and which they tried to tell the astonished officials.
