Talk:Tenjiku Tokubei

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] India?

Googling around for information on this character I couldn't find any confirmation that he reached (what we now call) India. One source called his claims 'fabulous' while another suggested that he went to (what are now) Vietnam and Thailand. I can't find any source calling him the Marco Polo of Japan. I can't find any source for his association with Jan Joosten. The rest of the article seems likely to be accurate. It would be valuable to know the sources of the original author. Hat tip to Elonka for bringing this interesting article to my attention. Haukur (talk) 21:37, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Ah, actually here's a mention of Joosten and Tokubei. But this source speaks of Siam and not India. Haukur (talk) 21:39, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
