About this episode
In 1582, a Japanese nobleman by the name of Lord Ōtomo Sōrin sent a group of envoys to Europe. The entire round trip of their journey took eight years, and along the way, they visited several European countries and met multiple European heads of state, including two popes. It was hoped that their mission would revolutionize relations between Europe and Japan.
