Abstract
[Extract] âToday,â the Portuguese Jesuit Gasparo Gonçalves pronounced, âRome has acquired in place of a lost isle, another island, actually, many islands, with many kingdoms, and countless people, from just about the most distant inhabited land in the entire world.â1 The day was 23 March 1585 and the occasion was a prestigious public consistory hosted by Pope Gregory XIII. The Pope officially received four Japanese Christians in the Vaticanâs Sala Regia, the Royal Hall reserved for visiting monarchs and their representatives. The Japanese were sent by three southern daimyÅ, powerful feudal lords who constituted Japanâs ruling elite during the bellicose Sengoku (æŠåœæ代: Sengokujidai) period, just prior to the Tokugawa shogunate and prohibition of Christianity.
