  • Today, we examine a mysterious event in Japanese history where a strange object drifted to shore in 1803 near a fishing village. Some are convinced the event is clear evidence of an extraterrestrial visitation by aliens occurring in our not so distant past. Did aliens flying a UFO really visit Japan? Or is there a more likely explanation? Let’s find out! Hope you enjoy this installment of Trey the Explainer!

      To be fair, that would of been the appropriate thing to do at that time.

And it was actually common for neighboring countries like russia to accidentally have their fishing boats land in Japan.

      well it was different back in the day. Foreigners for many cultures were seen as lesser at best. There is a likelyhood even if they found her attractive they would steer away from her to avoid being hated by the community.
      Also, if this was true, this was such a strange a case they had to report it to the government. Would someone really try anything with a potentially dangerous or important diplomatic piece while the government is involved and watching?

    OMG wait her story of falling in love and being sent in the sea after that sounds REALLY really similar to a Russian tale called "The Tale of Tsar Saltan" there was Tsar's wife, who was tucked into a barrel and sent into the sea with her son, because her sisters told the Tsar (he was in war) that his wife gave birth to some kind of a creature, but not a child (I mean there was apparently no son in this Japanese story, but hey, it sounds very similar). I guess you can find the English translation of the tale in a book "Russian Wonder Tales" by Post Wheeler
    Edit: Maybe this Japanese author has heard the Russian tale and decided to interpret it in the way he did.
    Edit 2: I should have watched the video till the end (hehe). Well, I find this story very interesting due to it's (kind of) similarity with Russian tale about a woman being sent away (to die) in the sea in some sort of a hollow wooden boat

      Very plausible since there is an ocean current that travels from the north towards the coast of Japan. It is technically no that far, so it might take a week or so to reach japan with that ocean current. I mean, a surfboard took 2 years to drift from Hawaii to the Philippines. That is like 20x the distance.

    Contrary to popular belief by westerners, it was actually quite common for foreign fishing boats, especially from Russia, to abruptly land in Japan during the isolation period. The existence of other countries such as the U.S. were already known in Japan at that time due to the shared information from the Dutch. Japan also had multiple contact with the Russians in the north at this point.

  • @Rioluman10

    As soon as I heard it, it reeked of influence from Japanese folklore. I was unaware of the likely inspiration but it shares similarities to stories such as the tale of Princess Kaguya or the Legend of Momotaro. Following the mysterious appearing from nowhere motif (in this case referring to derived Momotaro). The exiled princess motif also shows up in Kaguya except in that story the explanation given is that she's an actual alien, not a foreigner. The mysterious child also has to leave in both of these "alien" stories. The so-called "mysterious characters" resemble a mixture of generic geometric shapes and garbled kanji. Using the text on the left at 5:33 I have a tentative identification of the characters they butchered 正口吉.

  • @FromRussia_With_Love
    @FromRussia_With_Love Před 2 lety +24

    The story sounded plausible for a while, especially when they mentioned her hair extensions and the comparison to that of Russian women because that is actually quite accurate. But then came the convenient stock character "wise and experienced old man whose name nobody remembers because he's so old and mystic" who just happened to know that she was a princess from a faraway exotic land, exiled by her father the king for loving another man after marriage and carries the severed head of her illegitimate partner in a wooden box. Because of course there just happens to be an old man NPC nearby who is the only one that knows the fairy tale backstory of this complete stranger.

    • @Jiub_SN
      @Jiub_SN Před 8 měsíci

      You're failing to acknowledge that it could be a true story that was just heavily embellished. To most Japanese people of the time the whole situation would've been extremely odd, so making it seem more odd for the writing of it into a book isn't that strange at all. It could've also been literally some old dude who used to explore Russia telling people she was a foreign princess because she looked Russian and was wearing nice clothes, or even just because she was alone/on her own ship. It isn't even that unbelievable if you correlate what was said with what would've realistically happened during the time and at that place.

      I can disprove this theory! E.L. Wallace is my dad, and I asked him if this was true myself! He said it was highly unlikely that the “off-the-books” Daughter he sent adrift in the Atlantic Ocean hundreds ago couldn’t have possibly made it all the way to japan.

    That sounds AMAZING to add to a time travel and conspiracy story, like imagine a X-files like show with an episode dedicated to this, where a Caucasian woman that previously had her hair dyed white and later grew back her red hair, got back in time to this era in Japan in a time machine that looks like the hollow boat, the box would be a computer or something
