Bronze statue of Havana's 1st Japanese envoy unveiled
HAVANA, Cuba - A bronze statue of Japan's first official envoy to visit what is now Cuba in 1614, while on his way to Europe on a mission with a Japanese delegation, is unveiled at a park in Havana on April 26. The 1.6-meter statue was erected in memory of Hasekura Tsunenaga (1571-1622), a retainer of Date Masamune, a ''daimyo'' or feudal lord of Sendai in northeastern Japan. Standing in samurai attire (3rd from R) is Norimasa Hasekura, 60, Tsunenaga's descendant.
