Nagasaki is a Japanese city. Founded over 500 years ago, it was originally a secluded harbor village with little historical significance until contact with European explorers in the mid-16th century when a Portugese ship accidentally landed at Kagoshima Prefecture in 1542. The zealous Jesuit missionary? Francis Xavier arrived in another part of the territory in 1549?, but although he left for China in 1551? and died soon after departure his followers who remained behind converted a number of daimyo (warlords). The most notable among them was [Omura Sumitada]?, who derived great profit from his conversion through an accompanying deal to receive a portion of the trade from Portuguese ships at a port they established in Nagasaki in 1571 with his assistance.
