While doing business in Hoi An in 1619, Sotaro Araki fell in love and got married to Princess Ngoc Hoa. One year later, Ngoc Hoa went to Japan. She died in 1645 and she was buried in Nagasaki, Japan. The love and happy marriage of Ngoc Hoa and Araki became a famous story in Nagasaki. Ngoc Hoa’s mirror is still preserved in Nagasaki Art Museum.
