Considering that the first industrialist of the Netherlands, Petrus Regout, brought his goods in 1859 to Dejima for distribution in Nagasaki and beyond and that these goods were stored in the warehouse of Spengler and were found in great quantities during the excavations at Dejima Recognizing the significance of the columns with the mark "P. Regout Maastricht" as a symbol for the worldwide distribution of Maastricht ceramics and the important role of Dejima in the relationship between Japan and the Netherlands and beyond the former VOC-trading post Dejima and Centre Céramique confirm a long-term partnership and their determination to collaborate in any possible future endeavors.
