The Dutch reputation as piratesand the resemblance with the Portuguese and Spanish in matters of religion offeredthe Japanese good reasons of suspicion on their purposes. Notwithstanding theincreasing feeble situation of the Portuguese at the time, the volume of trade, theirlong experience and acquaintance in Japan, as well as their contacts kept in theTokugawa court, combined with their own difficulties in the country, preventedthem to utterly predict the fragility of their enemies, overestimating hence theirstrength.
