Realize a NHK drama centered on William Adams and Tokugawa Ieyasu! We request for your support and cooperation with our Petition Campaign! Recognized in Japan by the name, Miura Anjin, this English sailor became the diplomatic advisor to Tokugawa Ieyasu, and greatly contributed to the development of Japan with his profound knowledge of navigation and shipbuilding. Four cities connected to Adams: Usuki of Oita prefecture, Ito of Shizuoka prefecture, Yokosuka of Kanagawa prefecture, and Hirado of Nagasaki prefecture, have formed the “ANJIN Project Committee,” and are working together to honor Adams achievements, and also propose a theme based on William Adams and Tokugawa Ieyasu for Taiga Drama. Taiga Drama is a renowned historical drama series created by NHK, Japan’s sole public broadcasting organization. Themes for this annual drama are selected from Japan’s rich history. To further increase the chances of our Taiga Drama proposal to NHK, we have started a Petition Campaign!
