Adam Clulow. The Company and the Shogun: The Dutch Encounter with Tokugawa Japan.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Company and the Shogun: The Dutch Encounter with Tokugawa Japan is the first systemic look at the formative era of European-Japanese interaction, and the first in-depth examination of this time period since Charles Boxer's seminal, The Christian Century in Japan, 1549–1650, first published in 1951. Despite the broad chronological range suggested by the title, Clulow's book focuses on the latter half of Boxer's century, the first 40 years or so of Dutch contact with Japan. Clulow uses an event-driven approach in which “the same basic pattern is evident, with initial claims about the company's rights to diplomacy, violence, and sovereignty triggering a sequence of conflicts that were only resolved by VOC [Dutch East India Company] withdrawals, concessions, or outright surrender” (p. 16). Clulow's goal is to “chart a process of socialization, in which the Dutch were forced to adapt to find a place in a Tokugawa order” (p. 262). As such, this carefully documented work enhances our understanding of both Japan and Europeans in Asia.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
