The historical relations between Japan and the Hispanic world date back to 1549, with the arrival of St. Francis Xavier on the island of Kyushu with the aim to evangelize the south of the country .

In 1582 a cristian japanese delegation (Tenshó embassy) left Nagasaki and travelled in a grand tour of Europe, reaching Toledo and Madrid in 1584 where they meet Philipp II of Spain.

In the same year the Cagayan battle took place in coasts of north Philippines between the Spanish Armada and eastern pirates called Wako.

In 1609, a typhoon wrecked the Spanish galleon San Francisco, which was on the Manila-Acapulco route, off the coast of Onjuku. Spaniards were saved by Japanese divers: among the passengers was the Governor of the Philippines, Rodrigo de Vivero, who was given an audience by the local shōgun.

Later on Japan sent the Keichō Embassy in 1613 and arrived in Spain in 1614, to request direct trade with New Spain (Nueva España, today Mexico) and the sending of missionaries, holding audiences with King Philip III and Pope Paul V.

Find more and discover the true and surprising story behind thanks to Don Francisco Moreno who will reveal shocking aspects that have remained unknown for centuries.
