Carlos Huber: "In March 2014 I was headed to Japan for the first time, a paese from an intriguing past whose culture fascinated me. By chance I learned about the story of Hasekura Tsunenaga, the Japanese ambassador, and his journey to Mexico and Europe, which inspired this fragrance. From my studies of Mexican history, I knew about the famous trade route that connected the Philippines to Mexico via Spain. One day I stumbled upon the story of a particular journey, which took the first embassy of Japanese noblemen to Europe via Mexico. Everywhere they went, they tried to make trade deals to import goods to Japan. Luckily for me, when I arrived in Japan the National Museum was celebrating the 400th anniversary of the journey by exhibiting the original portrait of Hasekura Tsunenaga. Also on display at the exhibition were Japanese panels painted in the Nanban style, which means "Western or European" because it was influenced by foreign traders in Nagasaki in the early 17th century. I was curious to discover the history that connected Mexico and Japan. It would have given me the opportunity to tell the story of Japan from the outside as a foreigner, like a true Nanban" EDP 100 ml
