Abstract

This work analyzes the recovery in 19th century Japan of the samurai figure Hasekura Tsunenaga (1571-1622) and the embassy he led to Europe in the early 17th century. This embassy, with its international character, garnered the attention of historians, intellectuals, and journalists in Japan during the 19th century. Through the examination of books, newspaper articles, and textbooks, we will explore how Hasekura's portrayal evolved by the end of the 19th century, adapting to Japan's changing needs in a context marked by mercantile expansionism and colonialism. In doing so, we shed light on an overlooked aspect of the interaction between the Iberian powers and 17th-century Japan: its second life within the process of integration into the cultural memory of the Japanese in the transition between the 19th and 20th centuries, some aspects of which still survive today.
