Part 1: LESSON LEARNED

The lesson that I’ve learned in life and story of Rizal in Chapter 13, Rizal in Japan. At this time, Rizal
reached Yokohama in Japan checking in a grand Hotel, it was February 28,1888. Juan Perez Caballero,
secretary of the Spanish legation invited him to live at the Spanish legation. He accepted the invitation
for two reasons. First is that he could economize his living expenses by staying at the legation and
second hehad nothing to hide from the prying eyes of the Spanish authorities. The next day he
proceeded to Tokyo. Rizal was impressed by the beauty of their country having clean and polite people
and simple women who dressmodesty. There he met his fifth romance, a few days after he had moved
to the Spanish Legation, Rizal saw a pretty Japanese girl walking at the gate of Legation. Rizal was
attracted by her regal loveliness and charm. He asked more information about the Japanese girl he saw
to the legation employees and known her name as Seiko Usui or also known as O-Sei-San. A native of
Japan. She had an intimate relationship with Jose Rizal during Rizal's vacation on Yokohama. She was 23
years old when she met Rizal. Her former status as a daughter of samurai gave her an address's of "O Sei
San" and "The Honorable Miss Sei". Rizal saw in lovely O-Sei-San the qualities of his ideal womanhood –
beauty, charm, modesty, and intelligence. No wonder he fell deeply in love with her. O-Sei-San
reciprocated his affection, for it was the first time her heart palpitated with joys to see a man of
gallantry, dignity, courtesy, and versitile talents. Rizal almost decided to settle down in Japan because of
his feelings growing to O-Sei-San and because he was offered a good job at the Spanish Legation a
legation was a diplomatic representative office of lower rank than an embassy. Where an embassy was
headed by an ambassador, a legation was headed by a minister. Ambassadors outranked ministers and
had precedence at official events.
