Siebold and Hibi Port

When Siebold (Philipp Franz Balthasar von Siebold, 1796-1866) traveled back and forth between Nagasaki and Edo, he stayed at Hibi Port and visited the sea salt fields.
Siebold published his travel sketch book, “NIPPON” (“Reise nach dem Hofe des Sjogunim Jahre 1826”), which includes the details of his visit and some of his impressions.
