A Quarter Century of Trans-Pacific Diplomacy: New Spain and Japan, 1592–1617
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Spain’s interest in developing commercial relations with Japan was initiated with Christopher Columbus’ unsuccessful search, in October, 1492, for the great island of Cipango described by Marco Polo in the thirteenth century. The subsequent introduction of Christianity by Portuguese Jesuits provided that nation with a virtual monopoly for trade and evangelization, as well as substantial influence in the Japanese court. The death of Hideyoshi in 1598 brought Tokugawa Iyeyasu to power as regent. Iyeyasu was greatly interested in commerce and European support since Japan’s trade with China had been closed because of China’s alliance with Korea against Hideyoshi. Vivero presented his stipulations to Kosuke-no-Suke Dono and then left for Bungo to await an answer and prepare to embark for New Spain aboard the Santa Ana. Iyeyasu, considering the burning as a just vengance for Portuguese acts in Macao, continued to seek Spanish friendship and trade, and on January 21 named Fray Luis Sotelo as his ambassador to Spain.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
