  11. Good Gentles!

  13. There were large numbers of Euorpeans living in East Asia in the 16th
  14. century.  Further, there were several Japanese expeditions to the pope
  15. and other Western precincts before Japan was closed in the early 17th
  16. century.  There were from the 7th century onward rather frequent
  17. journeys by Japanese scholars to India.  Now does that make Japanese
  18. common in the courts of the Plantagenet kings of England?  No it does
  19. not.  But, neither were there a lot of Turks, Arabs, Austrians or
  20. Italians wandering around England either.
