- Title
“THE SPANIARDS OF ASIA": THE JAPANESE PRESENCE IN COLONIAL MEXICO.
- Authors
Sanabrais, Sofía
- Abstract
Curiosity about Japan in New Spain peaked during the late-sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. While the modern immigration of the Japanese to the Americas that began in the late nineteenth century after the re-opening of Japan to the West has received scholarly attention, considerably less is known about the Japanese colonial diaspora. Through the analysis of seventeenth-century written and visual sources this essay provides insight into the Japanese presence in colonial Mexico.
