カイテイシンパン タカヤマウコンヲオエ
Search for the Real Christian Daimyo Takayama Ukon: Revised Edition
(Kaiyaku Shinpan: Kirishitan Daimyoh Takayama Ukon o Oe)
Toshio Takahashi
The direct or indirect testimony of 25 contemporaries brings into sharp relief the image of Takayama Ukon, the Christian feudal lord who in 1587 accepted exile from Japan to Manila rather than renounce his faith. They include 15 other lords, 4 missionaries, 2 evangelists, a tea master, a Buddhist monk opponent, Gracia Hosokawa (the wife of a lord), and Will Adams (the foreign advisor of the shogun). He is shown to be a man who gave up his domain to keep his faith, hope and love for Christ. This edition is revised and expanded and combines material from an earlier book, Lord Takayama Ukon's Faith and the Tea Ceremony (Bushoh Takayama Ukon no Shinkoh to Cha no Yu) and includes artistic illustrations.
