From Europe to Nagasaki

The map below shows the journey of the Japanese Jesuit nobles and their teacher Meschita to Europe. During this trip, they were tasked with bringing back a printing press to be able to produce religious books for Japanese Christian converts because it took 2.5 years to get books to Nagasaki from Europe.

I've also included the names of the different locations and some more information regarding their relevance in this journey.

In the mid 16th century, China didn't allow trade with Japan because of Japanese pirates. However, Japanese wanted Chinese silk and the Chinese wanted Japanese silver. Macau, located in the southern shore of China, was a Portuguese colony and a trading port that provided a midway point between Europe and Nagasaki. Since the Chinese had started trading with Portugal in the 1560s, the Jesuits served as intermediaries between the Japanese and the Portuguese.
