- As for in-period contacts with the Japanese, remember that the

- merchandising -- to put it gently -- of the Elizabethan and early
- Jacobean periods. (Not just English, but these are the time-
- periods we're most likely to know offhand.)

- I've seen a reference to a Venetian "Mass of the Japansese Princes" in
- around 1585 or so (in the liner notes to the CD "A Venetian Coronation
- 1595" by the Gabrieli Consort & Ensemble under the direction of Andrew
- Parrott, briefly quoting what appeared to be a primary source;
- warning: previous reference is from memory, the CD is at home). I've
- been meaning to dig into this a little bit more but haven't gotten
- around to it just yet... Anyone else heard of this?
