β¦ Synopsis
Genesis (Kagoshima) -- The word (Yamaguchi) -- Good news (Azuchi) -- Commandments (Hakata) -- Crucifixion (Nagasaki) -- Persecution (Omura) -- Apocalypse (Shimabara) -- Post-apocalypse (Amakusa) -- Silence (Sotome) -- Sanctuary (Goto) -- Revelation (Urakami) -- Last rites (Hirado).;From the time the first Christian missionary arrived in Japan in 1549 to when a nationwide ban was issued in 1614, over 300,000 Japanese were converted to Christianity.

Illiterate peasants handed down the Catholicism that had been taught to their ancestors despite having no Bible or contact with the outside world.Just as remarkably, descendants of the Hidden Christians continue to this day to.
