House Eight – Drake (Architectural style: Tudor)

基本情報

説明

An English explorer and privateer from the Elizabethan times, Admiral Sir Francis Drake was the first Englishman to circumnavigate the globe. Along with the British navy, he also defeated the Spanish Armada during the reign of Elizabeth I, the successor to Henry VIII in the 16th century. The painting in the lounge is a representation of the battle between Drake and the Spanish Armada, along with images of sailing ships and nautical charts from the time period. In Japan, it was the eve of the Battle of Sekigahara, just before William Adams (also known as Anjin Miura) appeared to cement Anglo-Japanese relations.
