		BY MANUEL W. HAVANA.- Hasekura Tsunenaga, the first Japanese citizen and samurai to visit Cuba in 1614, will eternally look to the sea from his bronze statue, scheduled to be unveiled on April 26 at the entrance to Havana Bay.
		Tsunenaga stopped in Havana in July 1614 on a diplomatic mission which had begun in Japan, and later continued to Acapulco, Mexico, with a final destination of Spain, the metropolis where he would attempt to establish a commercial route without having to make the regular stop in Manila, Philippines.
		According to Del Castillo, you could say that Tsunenaga did not accomplish the objectives of his trip because Luis de Sotelo was later burned alive in Manila, while the samurai was sentenced to return to Japan for converting to Catholicism.

		After he had returned back to Japan, he was confined in a secret place and all the documents about his travel was dispersed because Christianity became forbidden in Japan during his voyage.

		He has no need whatsoever for Chritianity but it is through his eyes that we are able to glimpse the true nature of Christian faith.
