"Opperhoofden" and Medical Staff at the
Dutch Factories Hirado and Deshima, Japan (1609 - 1692)

The Opperhoofden (Chiefs) were originally replaced every two years. Sometimes they stayed longer if no replacement was available or if the opperhooft seemed extremely competent or (as in the case of the Napoleontic wars in those days the English tried to take over) the opperhooft couldn't go back. [] means alternative writing.
