Under Tokugawa Hidetada's rule: - In 1614, an edict was issued that prohibited the practice of christianity in Japan - In 1621, 2 Spanish friars were killed. - In 1622, Christians were publicly burned or beheaded in Japan. Under Tokugawa Iemitsu's rule: - In 1623, Iemitsu celebrated his rise to power by ordering Christians burned at the stake in Edo. - Between 1633 and 1639, Nagasaki commissioner were ordered to investigate anyone suspected of being Christians. Rewards were also offered to anyone who provided the location of foreign priest. However, as Gkgoten1000 and MMM has mentioned, this doesn't happen in modern day Japan. So, go to Japan and enjoy. |
