Years: 1787 - 1787
Kōdayū and the eight other surviving Japanese castaways, stranded in the Aleutian Islands for the past five years, have sailed their driftwood craft for one and a half months to arrive in Kamchatka, where Russian officials at first cannot believe the castaways had sailed from Amchitka in a "hand-made boat".
Kōdayū meets Barthélemy de Lesseps, a French diplomat, who will later write about the castaways in his Journal historique du voyage de M. de Lesseps, published in 1790.
