Petronella Muns

Bergsma and Muns arrived on 16 August 1817 and were forced to leave after five weeks.

On the return journey to the Netherlands, Muns gave birth to a daughter.

Muns and Bergsma had aroused considerable attention during their short stay and were portrayed by Japanese artists.

Statues and images of them are still sold in the Japanese tourist industry, where they are remembered as the first western women in Japan.
