		Hasekura Rokuemon Tsunenaga (1571–1622) (Japanese:æ”¯ååå³è¡é—å¸¸é•·, also spelled Faxecura Rocuyemon in period European sources, reflecting the contemporary pronunciation of Japanese), was a Japanese samurai and retainer of Date Masamune, the daimyo of Sendai.
		Although Hasekura's embassy created a strong impression in Europe, it happened at a time when Japan was moving towards the suppression of Christianity, so that European monarchs such as the King of Spain ultimately denied the trading agreements Hasekura had been seeking.
		Hasekura had an official coat of arms, consisting of a Buddhist swastika crossed by two arrows, within a shield and surmounted by a royal crown, on an orange background.

		The visit of Hasekura Tsunenaga to St Troppez in 1615 is the first recorded instance of Franco-Japanese relations.
		The embassy left Seville for Mexico in June 1617 after a period of two years spent in Europe but some of the Japanese remained in Spain, in a town near Seville (Coria del Río), where their descendants to this day still use the surname Japón.
		In the end, his embassy seems to have had little result, although his eyewitness accounts of Spanish power and colonial methods may have precipitated the Shogun Tokugawa Hidetada's decision to sever trade relations with Spain in 1623, and diplomatic relations in 1624.

		It is a historical novel that was based fairly tightly on a real person- Rokuemon Hasekura, a samurai whose family had lost power at some point in history and was eking out a living in a marshland with a village of peasants and servants.
		Hasekura is pretty content in his marshland village rural life but his Uncle sows seeds of discontent because their family's tribal lands were taken away at some point.
		Poor Hasekura and the surviving envoys return after 4 years away from their families and find that their friends in power have lost their positions and that their mission is viewed as very suspicious.

	BrothersJudd.com - Review of Shusaku Endo's The Samurai
		This is his account of the fact-based story of Hasekura Rokuemon (1571-1622), a relatively low-ranking samurai who was sent as the chief trade and diplomatic envoy of Japan's ruler, Tokugawa Ieyasu, on a trip to Mexico (New Spain), Spain, and eventually to Rome.
		Endo's Hasekura is very much tied to his family's marshland home in Kurokawa, where he has always worked in the fields with the peasants.
		So long as the Hasekura house continued, the samurai's deceased father and grandfather would be a part of the marshland.

		It is clear, from the title and throughout the book, that Endo’s protagonist is Hasekura, but I found myself confused about where my sympathies were.
		Velasco, the priest, is clearly not a very good priest, and I was put off by his arrogance and pride, but I at first found his Western outlook far more understandable and compelling than Hasekura's unquestioning acceptance of events and his wholly Japanese worldview, untainted by exposure to other cultures.
