Samurai In Spain by A.M. Ávila
ell you the fascinating story about Hasekura anese Samurai who, in the year 1614, landed ar de Barrameda, and who later navigated wn outside of Seville called Coria del Rio? anniversary of Hasekura´s visit and of the atic relations between Spain and Japan. this story when the Director of Tourism in , mentioned it to me last year. Recently, I the name of Momoko Izumi who is now a a champion “venenciadora” (i.e. an artisan rom a barrel while using a venencia). She, y of the Samurai visitor and also mentioned sy in Spain had planned events to mark the at visit. Finally, I met a man from Coria del ´s last name was “Japón” (Spanish for Japan) of this story. I was intrigued and had to ely, I have had to dig for bits and pieces, here d English. Trying to condense this story is
New World had been discovered and many to other lands had been completed. Spain s all over the world. In 1609, the Spanlippines was returning from “New Spain” recked as a result of a terrible storm. He crew were rescued by Japanese fishermen. later met with the Spanish governor and ablishing diplomatic relations with the King hurch, and with the Spanish colonies in the mericas. 1613, the Keicho Mission set sail for “New e goal of convincing the King of Spain to bassy on Spanish soil and to develop a lasthip. The ship named the “Mutsu Maru,” by an Juan Bautista,” by the Spaniards would p in history to cross the Pacific Ocean from
ekura Tsunenaga. Although samurais were nt on a mission of diplomacy and peace. He and hero of wars that had been fought on he peninsula of Korea. Ironically, he would ater land in “Coria”del Rio which, although t means something else in Spanish, is also he name for Korea. He was accompanied by 150 Japanese military members, servants, and businessmen. The navigation of the ship was up to a Spanish captain and 25 Spanish sailors. After first visiting Veracruz, Acapulco, and Mexico City, in the “New World,” the Keicho
Mission then set sail for Spain. On the September 30, 1614, they arrived in our neighboring city of Sanlucar de Barrameda. The Duke of Medina Sidonia, sent carriages to receive the honored guests and provided food and lodging for several weeks. He also provided two smaller ships so that they could navigate up-river towards Seville. The group arrived in Coria del Rio, in the province of Seville, to await an audience with the King of Spain in Madrid. They eventually worked their way to the cities of Seville, Cordoba, and Madrid, and on the 30th of January, 1615 they were received by Spanish King Phillip III. After a lengthy visit, Hasekura and his entourage left Spain and were received in Rome by Pope Paul V on the 3rd of November, 1615. Unfortunately, for Hasekura, his efforts to establish trading relationships with both Spain and the Roman Catholic Church did not meet with success due to religious reforms that were occurring in Japan that rejected the presence of the Catholic Church. In 1622, the Keicho Mission returned to Japan, after 11 years on the road, and Hasekura was immediately imprisoned by order of the reigning Shogun. Apart from the amazing story of this traveling Samurai, (of which I did not do justice to, given the limitations of space) is what is left behind of his visit over four hundred years ago. The 1995 census for the province of Seville indicates that there were more than 600 citizens that had the surname of “Japon.” Some speculate that since it was difficult to pronounce Hasekura´s, and other Japanese ancestor´s, last names, they began using “Japon” as a last name, deriving it from “de Japon” meaning “from Japan.” There is no doubt that those citizens, of the province of Seville, who bear the surname “Japon” are descendants of members of the Keicho Mission (some of which elected to stay in Corea del Rio rather than the face the consequences of their religious conversion upon marrying Spanish locals). However, it was not until 1989 that a Japanese historian, upon reviewing documents relating to Hasekura and the Keicho Mission, discovered that there existed a nexus between the 17th century visitors, Japan, and Spain. There now exists a Hispanic-Japanese Association in Coria del Rio which was founded in 1993 and is named after Hasekura. They are dedicated to organizing activities which encourage cultural exchange with Koreans and Japanese who come to the town in search of
their Keicho Mission ancestors and relatives. A curious footnote to this story, relates to the gentleman that I met from Coria del Rio. He stated that many of the persons, that are thought to be descendants of the Keicho Mission, bear a curious ink-stain type birthmark on, either, their upper legs, lower backs, or buttocks. An internet entry that makes reference to Coria Del Rio´s Japanese heritage mentions this peculiarity and refers to the mark by its clinical name of “congenital dermal melanocytosis” or the “Mongolian blue spot.” When the gentleman from Coria offered to show me his mark, I politely declined.

The view from CView Shamrock Bar & Eatery Bill Brogan sent the following information about the music group that will be playing at Shamrock tomorrow night. This Friday, Sept. 19, at 9 p.m. the Irish traditional music group Gwyddel will be performing at the Shamrock Bar and Eatery outside the El Puerto gate. Their selections include various traditional jig and reels as well as some modern tunes played in a traditional style. Gwyddel formed in 2012 in Jerez and quickly started performing in bars, restaurants and music halls throughout the Cadiz region. Although this area isn't exactly the epicenter of Irish traditional music, Gwyddel has gained a following and provides an alternative to rock and flamenco in this area. This group often starts a recognizable hornpipe in unison, or with the fiddler and flute playing the melody while the others play harmony and rhythm. On one occasion when I heard the group, they then passed the melody to the other instruments.This soon morphed into some improv that wavered between jazz and indie before returning to the traditional style. To mix things up a bit, then next song I heard floated around in a fusion world before settling into a reel.At times, the electric bass a loner among the acoustic instruments - gives their songs a mellow rock feel. "We often invite other musicians to play with us because they offer a variety to our style," says Macue Narbona, one of the founding members. "We are also aware that our audiences might get tired of traditional tunes played the same way ever time, which is why we try to jazz them up a bit."
As with any band, each member brings their particular background and influence to each song. They are clearly Irish traditional music and list the Chieftains as one of their inspirations. Still Gwyddel boasts bringing jazz, '70s rock, and flamenco backgrounds to their style of playing. Along with Macue, who plays the bodhran (irish drum), Pepe Torres (tin whistle and flute) started group. Belen Lucena (fiddle), Antonio Corrales (bass) and Jorge Gomez (guitar) make up the rest of the team. Come out to The Shamrock on Friday to hear this unique group. Restaurante La Mascaipacha Walking along the marina of Puerto Sherry near the lighthouse it is hard not to be tempted by the smell of the vine cuttings wood fire barbecue of the Mascaipacha restaurant. Everything is top class, the best Jamón from Jabugo, the highest quality cheeses, tapas, steaks, lamb chops and a specially selected and authentic menu. The vine cuttings are brought from La Mancha as are the lamb chops and the steaks come from Galicia. You sit on the dock looking out at the light house and yachts in a very pleasant setting with excellent food and drink. Highly recommended! Molly Malone Tonight is Molly Malone Day at Molly Malone and tomorrow they will introduce their new menu. It is full of surprises so stop by and check it out.
