In 1890, Turkish battleship called Ertugrul Furkateyni went aground after the soldiers and others met Emperor Meiji. About 580 people died by this accident, but 69 people were rescued by the local people here. At that time, people in Japan almost never met any foreigners, but they offer their foods and supplies and saved the Turkish soldiers lives. To communicate the Turkish people, people here use the book with many national flags to identify which country they are from. After they found out that these soldiers are from Turk, They used a radio transmitter to communicate with them. Since then, the great friendship between Turk and Japan started.
