THE FACTORS OF BARRIERS TO THE CHURCH GROWTH IN JAPAN (03)
idental civilization. To a certain extent this made for a rapid acce-
ptance of Christianity by some of those most affected by the new day.
Whenever Japan had the advantage of her diplomatic relationship, she
always opened her doors to the other nations. But she used to close
her doors whenever Christianity flued into the nation taking advanta-
ge of the foreign civilization. Furthermore she had persecuted the
Christianity in Japan under the anti-Christian decrees which were pr-
omulgated by the kings of many generations.
2) The Dictatorship of the Rulers
Late in 1596 Hideyoshi followed up his anti-Christian decree, nearly
decade old, with first active persecution. Many Japanese Christians
were exiled, put to death, and Some of the executions were by behead-
ing. Others were by crucifixion. Large numbers were burned, some by
slow fire. lyeyasu commended the daimyo to send all the missionaries
to Nagasaki for deportation, to destroy all churches, and to compel
Christians to give up their religion.
Christianity in Japan had seemed to be sanguinary course and expiration for a while. In Japan the
forces which fought against Christianity appeared to triumph. But the
Christianity in Japan did continuously persist in those days.
3. RELIGIOUS ASPECTS
One of the oldest indigeneous religions was Shinto, which deified
national heroes, the Emperor, and Japan itself. It was ancestor wors-
hip, hero worship and nature worship, and then it developed as Polyt-
heism that had 8,000,000 gods and godess. And Japan had received oth-
er religions,that is to say, Buddhism from China passing through Korea
in 552 AD and Christianity from the Western countries.
In 1587 Hideyosho came out with an edict against Christianity; It declared that Ja-
pan was the land of the gods and so could not toreate a religion whi-
ch denounced its national deities as false. Missionaries were ordered
to leave the country within twenty days. In the very end of World War
H, the militarists in Japan had tried to unify the Shinto, Buddhism
and Christianity into one.
