2023, book 1: De hofreis naar de Shogun van Japan, Jan Cock Blomhoff

Interesting. Nothing earthshattering, but interesting. Some things to look into: games (including cards), "automatic toys," and the "handelspas" which is still kept in the Rijksarchief in Den Haag. I also re-read some Robert van Gulik and Elizabeth Peters this month, but I've mentioned those enough.
