2000 June
The city of Hoorn, an old harbour, with a long history of shipbuilding. organised in the
year 2000 many events to commemorate the 400 years friendship between Japan and
the Netherlands, that started, paradoxically, with a shipwreck of Dutch ship De Liefde
on the shore of Japan.
The Dutch Shinto master made a shinto ceremony at the opening of a music festival
in the historical Oosterkerk, which was preceded by a short introduction to explain the
ceremony.
