- In today's video, we explore the story of a Japanese Samurai who visited Angkor Wat in 1631-1632, the history of Japanese Nihonmachi in Cambodia, and the diplomatic ties between the Shogun and the King of Cambodia in the early seventeenth century. I hope you enjoy the video, thanks for visiting!
Also, I've decided to start sharing my sources incase you are interested in any further readings or want to know where I get my information. I realized I should have started doing it sooner. Unfortunately, not all sources are publicly available on the web.

Fun fact, the oldest surviving plan of Angkor Wat dates to 1715 and is credited to a Japanese visitor to Cambodia named Fujiwara Tadayoshi. The plan is currently stored in Japan's Suifu Meitoku-kai Shokokan Museum in the city of Mito.
Still through the eyes of one man. The siams tried so hard to use his “perspective” to thwart and argue the truth and facts of Khmer history. Ofc they would as they’d try anything to avoid the world from learning their land culture arts etc originated from our Khmer ancestors.
holy shit man! this is so much good content coming out so fast! I always appreciate new channels willing to work to share this information, esp with focus on SEA!, I've been watching all these videos over the last couple days and its great stuff!
I glad you enjoyed them so much. SEA is definitely under explored
As a Cambodian American, I never knew this part of history. Thanks for this banger of a video brother! I’m subscribing 🙏🏼
From a fellow Cambodian American, I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and I appreciate the support!
Did you know: The kiseru pipe is one of the traditional crafts proudly produced in Kyoto. It has become both an implement for tobacco enjoyment and a fashionable item that hints at its owner's refined and cultured taste. The name kiseru is said to have derived from the Cambodian word khsier around the 16th century.
Sorry I just wanted to share, hehe
Thanks you for Sharing.🇰🇭🇯🇵
My pleasure!
Great video interesting culture exchange
Thanks friend!
Angkor wat was thoroughly attended by its creators the Khmer people and was known to many kingdoms and travelers. It's not like the racists claim that Angkor had been "lost" in 1431 and suddenly discovered by white European French
As a french Cambodian guy, I have to admit that only french travelers helped to restore the city of Angkor, not ours other asian neighbours. Using the racist card like you did make me laugh. I guess you are more a russian troll than a real asian commentator.
Thieves next door will say anything to discredit the truth of our Khmer history. They cannot allow the world including their own people to learn that our ancient Khmer ancestors were the ORIGINAL OWNERS of the the land, culture, arts, etc that they currently have today. It’ll crush Their Narrative they have Brainwashed everyone to believe so they must Push every Lie possible to thwart the truth.
My wife is from Udong. She has 8% Japanese blood. This explains alot.
Or the Japanese occupation during WWII?
@@AlexandreAuCambodge WWII would mean the Japanese DNA came from great grandparent or grand parent, that would mean a minimum on 12%-25%, and she know her great gp were born in Cambodia. 8% means longer dilution.
Amazing narration of the past historical events involving Japanese immigration. Please do a video of why only the Portuguese left behind their legacy in Cambodia, and not other Europeans such as the French or the Spaniards.
Much appreciated. That's such an interesting topic, which deserves to be explored!
That was fascinating. Many Thanks from Ireland.
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed!
Thanks for this video
No problem. Glad you enjoyed!
Good documents.
When a French explorer came and "discovered" Angkor, he was guided there by a local to a nearby village 🤣
Wow Wow, this is the greatest fairy tale of the century related to Cambodia and Japan both country of which I am most familiar. Showing unrelated pictures or paintings or modern printed maps do not constitute historical facts as well as chanting an empty tale like a Buddhist monk or a talking bird, thus I have to enjoy the tale as tale not as history... Have you came across yet how Balzac and Napoleon had defined History...

Thank you as Cambodia. I never know Cambodia and Japan having contact back then
Interesting. I read books and watch plenty of documentaries but never heard of this before. Most or all historians never mentioned about the Japanese in Cambodia at all.
Yeah it is under explored topic with few surviving documents
Merci beaucoup .....
de rien!
Thank youuuuuu! After a recent Japan trip, I've been trying to figure who the hell i am lol, this helps
Glad I could help!
🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍
You need to start talking about the Chinese pirates and Ming defectors when they started coming into Southeast Asia. Mac Cuu and Yandi.
Some videos on Chinese and Ming coming soon
Now I undestant afew older Cambodians said they have Japanese blood. Some Cambodian do look like Japanese.
Those Kamon look close to the Inaba/Kono clan

The funny thing about Ronin during this time is that the majority of the peoples mentioned here were basically ronin. Unless expressly employed by the shogunate u were a ronin unless you were merchant but even some merchants bought the right to carry swords but they are usually called goshi as a derogatory term. Not all ronin we're engaged in violence though many were teachers and scholars who were samurai by blood but ronin by status. A ronin isn't something you are it's more like a state of being, like being a freelancer. So unless said ronin we're registered within the domains of the shogunate they were allowed to be flexible with the treatment of the ronin abroad.
Interesting info, thanks! Many of the were also Christian ronin who lost status because of conversion. I didn't mention in the video, but the Portuguese built a mission in Oudong, which was part of why many Japanese fled to Cambodia.
