Cornelis van Nijenroode was a chief factor of the Dutch East India Company operations in Japan. He was appointed to that post in 1623. During his time in Japan, he had relationships with two courtesans of the Maruyama district, and had a daughter with each; one of these daughters was Cornelia van Nijenroode, who went on to have an active life in the Dutch East Indies.
