Japan’s Sexual Gods
Japan's Sexual Gods is an authoritative and original work that describes the unique deities represented by sexual objects in certain Japanese shrines and temples. Hundreds of sexual shrines still exist in spite of previous repression and range from the Tagata Shrine with its well-known giant festival phallus to small obscure places. Many also contain female sexual imagery and some phalluses act in a protective role. The study is based on observat…
The ghosts of Amakusa
The Amakusa Rebellion of 1589–1590 was the last in a series of disturbances that shook Higo province (modern Kumamoto prefecture) following the pacification of Kyushu by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in 1587. The rebels, almost all Christians, directed their anger against their fellow-Christian Konishi Yukinaga (1558–1600). Previous accounts of the war have blamed Yukinaga's ‘brutality’ against his co-religionists for the ‘poetic justice’ that brought about…
Onward, Christian Samurai! The Japanese Expeditions to Taiwan in 1609 and 1616
In 1593, 1609 and 1616 three very different attempts were made by the rulers of Japan to establish formal diplomatic and trade links with Taiwan. The 1593 approach consisted merely of a letter that proved impossible to deliver, while the others involved sending well-equipped fleets to the island. Both the latter expeditions were led by prominent Christians in efforts that ultimately came to nothing, in spite of being backed up by very meaningful …

The Beginning of Heaven and Earth
Diversity or Apostasy? The Case of the Japanese ‘Hidden Christians’
When Christian missionaries returned to Japan in 1859, after having been excluded from that country for over two centuries, they hoped that there might be some possibility of making contact with descendants of Japan’s original evangelized communities, and locating some folk memory of the so-called ‘Christian Century’, which had ended with the expulsion of European priests in 1614, and the persecution of native Christians. None of the newly arrive…
Mass or Matsuri
Sur l'ile japonaise d'Ikitsuki, survit une communaute de chretiens, les Kakure. Dans la region agricole d'Ichibu, on accomplit chaque annee le rituel Oyashiki-sama.

The Veneration of the Martyrs of Ikitsuki (1609-1645) by the Japanese ‘Hidden Christians’
Christianity came to Japan in 1549 in the person of the ‘Apostle to the Indies’, St Francis Xavier, yet in spite of initial progress both in making converts and in becoming part of the Japanese religious milieu, within a century it had virtually disappeared, harried to its demise by savage persecutions from a government convinced that Christianity was a threat to its survival. The suppression of Christianity produced many martyrs, of whom the bes…
