Kenperu, Tsunberry Kinenhi Kaempfer, Thunberg Monument

A benefactor of modern Japanese science who was called the Dejima Three Scholars.

In July 1823, Siebold came to the island as a doctor for a Dutch trading company.He praised the achievements of his predecessors, Kaempfer (arrived in 7) and Thunberg (arrived in 1690), and in 1775, to commemorate these achievements. This monument was erected at Dejima Flower Garden.

In 1885, this monument was moved to Nagasaki Park due to the Dejima development, but in 1956, the old botanical garden was restored and it was moved to its current location. The inscription in Latin reads, ``Kaempfer, Thunberg, look! Here are your plants, growing greener and blooming year after year, and laying out a wreath of love in memory of the one who planted them.'' The words ``von Siebold'' are engraved on it in praise of Siebold's predecessor, and from these words we can read the feelings he had toward Japanese studies. In that sense, this monument can be called a monument to Siebold himself, and is valued as a valuable cultural heritage in our country's cultural history.
