Japan Newsweek: "Who is the Chinese who was mentioned by Xi Jinping and exerted influence on Edo Japan?" 習近平が言及、江戸時代の日本に影響を与えたこの中国人は誰?

In March 15, 2017, a long article written by Masutomo Takehiro 舛友雄大, titled "Who is the Chinese who was mentioned by Xi Jinping and exerted influence on Edo Japan?" was published in the Japanese edition of Newsweek. It is a good review of Yinyuan's 隐元 adventure in Japan and President Xi Jinping's 习近平 recent address about him. Click here for Masutomo's full article. I posted President Xi Jinping's address in a previous post: Chinese President Xi Jinping mentioned Zen master Yinyuan in his talk to a Japanese delegation (May 23, 2015).
