Yoshio Kôsaku was a ''[[Rangaku]]'' expert and one of the chief official Dutch translators stationed in [[Nagasaki]]. This position was passed down within the [[Yoshio family]], and their house, which came to contain a great many Dutch/Western artifacts over the years, was sometimes known as ''Kômô yashiki'' ("the Dutch mansion," or "Mansion of Red-Hairs").
