       By the way of my last post, about older people, I want to talk about Japan, in this post, because there older people are highly respected.

      Yesterday, the Crown Prince of Japan ended his visit to Spain, going to Coria del Rio, a spanish locality very important for Japan, because there came the first Japanese to Spain.

      Coria del Rio belongs to Sevilla and in Sevilla there are 600 people with the surname Japan. For example: The Rector of the International University of Andalucia (Juan Manuel Suárez Japón) or the ex-Soccer Referee ( José Japón Sevilla) or, President of the Hispanic Association Tsunenaga Japanese Hasekura (Juan Francisco Japan Carvajal). Yesterday, some children of the public school Vicente Neria sang a song to the Prince. The song was named “Hanawasaku” and it talked about hope (it said: “The flowers bloom…..”); the Prince and his team were excited.

      Talking about the President of the Hispanic-Japanese Asociation, I can tell you that 400 years ago a Japanese Embassy Keicho, headed by Samurai Tsunenaga Hasekura, in 1614. They came from the Japanese locality Sendai. They were coming to ask permission to King Philip III to start trade relations among Japan and Spain. They did not succeed, but 10 people from the expedition stayed in Coria.

      Yesterday in the morning, the Prince Naruhito went to the Park “Juan de Mesa”, beside the river Guadalquivir, in order to plant a cherry tree, whose flower is a symbol for Japanese culture.

      In the evening, Naruhito went to enjoy an spectacle of the Spanish famous woman dancer of Flamenco, Cristina Hoyos.

      I do not know which spectacle was offered by Cristina Hoyos; but I want to show you a spectacle of her.Please click down here:

      I hope the the relations among Spain and Japan follow in a good way for always.

      And I also hope that you have enjoyed with this post and, of course, that you can come to Spain as soon as possible.

      Till soon, kind regards,

Luis.
