A New Way to Input Ligatures Found in Kirishitan-ban
This annotation explores a newly developed font that allows users to input special characters (ligatures and logograms) found in texts produced by Jesuit missionaries to Japan and their followers. This new font allows users to create transcriptions that are more materially and typographically closer to the original sources, and the syntax used to input these special characters opens up the possibility for digital analysis of these transcriptions.…

Some Reflections on the First Muslim Visitor to Japan
Japanese relations with Islam and Muslims have a much longer history1than is commonly assumed. Most scholarship on Japanese-Middle East andJapanese-Muslim relations has focused on the modern period. Nevertheless,there is evidence that Persian visitors came to Japan as early as 736CE(Tenpyō hachi nen 天平8年).2 It has been postulated that some of thesePersians were Syriac Christians,3 Zoroastrians, or Manichaeans,4 however,the historical sources do n…
Some Reflections on the First Muslim Visitor to Japan
This research note explores the biography and visit of the first Muslim visitor to Japan. This figure known as Sādōulǔdīng 撒都魯丁 visited Japan as part of a Mongol envoy in 1275CE, which ultimately ended in his execution in the country. Very little research has been conducted on Sādōulǔdīng, and therefore this note begins by evaluating relevant primary sources in order to assess what information can be garnered about this figure and his visit. Hith…
Anti-Kirishitan Surveillance in Early Modern Japan
From 1614 to 1873 Christianity was outlawed in Japan. The Tokugawa Shogunate, which ruled Japan for most of this period, built rigorous and complicated systems of surveillance in order to monitor their population’s religious habits. This paper seeks to describe the evolution of Edo period (1603–1868) anti-Christian religious surveillance. The first two sections of the paper explore the development of surveillance under the first three Tokugawa le…

The Figures of Kōho and Li-mi-i, and the Origins of the Case for a Christian Missionary Presence in Tenpyō Era Japan
In 1916 P.Y. Saeki devoted a page of his book “The Nestorian Monument in China,” to a short thought experiment which linked a Persian by the name of Li-mi-i 李密翳 who was present in Emperor Shōmu's 聖武天皇 court and whose arrival was mentioned in the Shoku Nihongi 続日本紀 with a priest named on the Nestorian Stele. Since that first suggestion, several scholars have expounded the idea that Li-mi-i and another figure who arrived alongside him, Kōho Tōchō 皇…
