词条 | German Emperor's Tributary Monument |
释义 |
In 1873, the German schooner R. J. Robertson was wrecked on Miyakojima in the Ryūkyū Kingdom.[1] The crew was saved by the local islanders, who took care of them. As a gift for the islanders' kindness, and as an excuse for German warships to enter Ryūkyūan waters, Kaiser Wilhelm I erected a monument on the island in 1876, known locally as the {{nihongo|German Emperor's Tributary Monument|ドイツ皇帝博愛記念碑|Doitsu kōtei hakuai kinenhi}} or the Friendship Monument.[1] A plaque on the monument reads:
After Japan annexed the Ryūkyū Kingdom, Japan used this as evidence of a history of friendship between Japan and Germany, and erected a second monument in 1936 that read {{nihongo|"The land of German merchant marine distress"|獨逸商船遭難の地|Doitsu shōsen sōnan no ji}}.[1] In 1987, Ueno German Culture Village was opened in Ueno village.[3] References1. ^1 2 Kerr, George.
