This article addresses the search for historical constants in the bilateral relationship between Japan and Chile from 1930 to 1973. In reviewing its background, we find at least three variables: one related to the reciprocal and complementary interests between both states and economies; a second constant associated with the ongoing influence of the United States of America as a third actor in play; and finally, a desire to formalize this relationship through mutual collaboration treaties. These constants have consistently faced two significant obstacles: the great geographical distance and the limited physical presence of Japanese citizens in Chile.
