“that a ragtag crew of criminals encountered a forbidden Japan at the height of its feudal isolation.”

Bet that went well.

What is so difficult about calculating 2017-1830 and coming up with 187?

If we go through the simple math, http://www.geteasysolution.com/187-is-what-percent-of-200, we find that 187 is only 93.5% of 200.

I would say “almost” should be closer to > 95%.

Just wow.

Odd the story would have been treated with such suspicion. Hard to see what they gained by making it up, and they were obviously able to get to China.

Anyone remember that 70’s miniseries The Thorn Birds? Very similar plot...

Makita Hamaguchi, a samurai sent disguised as a fisherman to check the ship for weapons, noted an “unbearable stench in the vicinity of the ship”.

Ah... that was the pirates.
