Flags at the Turkish Museum

One of my biggest surprises during my trip to Japan was the discovery that our family is (supposedly) part Turkish, descended from one of the surviving sailors stranded in Wakayama after a shipwreck in the late 1800s. Wanting to teach me about our history, Uncle Hideharu brought me to this museum on the island of Oshima.
