The events described in this exciting and provocative three-act play, a companion piece to Endo’s highly acclaimed novel Silence, take place in 1633, nearly a hundred years after Christianity was introduced into Japan. By this time, Japanese Christians were being cruelly persecuted by the government; every Christian searched out was made to apostatize or suffer a slow, agonizing death. The central character of The Golden Country is Father Christopher Ferreira, a Portuguese Jesuit missionary. Given shelter by a Christian farming community, everyone looks to him for help, including one of his chief persecutors. When, after cruel torture, Father Ferriera apostatizes to the disbelief of his Japanese converts, the play reaches a climax that is later capped only by the courage, nobility and love of the martyrs. Father Francis Mathy’s detailed Introduction to this tightly constructed drama, which poses basic questions about the meaning of faith, love and fate, provides valuable historical background.

I WILL add here the victories of those martyrs who in the islands of Japan suffered death in order to profess their faith in Jesus Christ. In giving their history I have selected the most heroic and the most wonderful traits by which they signalized their zeal for the Christian religion. I trust that my readers will be very well pleased to see in the midst of a barbarous nation so many Christians, men, women, children, old people after they had embraced the faith, seeking with eagerness the opportunity to die for Jesus Christ, and manifesting their joy at being able to suffer for him the most cruel torments.

"In The Martyrs of Japan, Rady Roldán-Figueroa examines the role that Catholic missionary orders played in the dissemination of accounts of Christian martyrdom in Japan. The work combines several historiographical approaches, including publication history, history of missions, and "new" institutional history. The author offers an overarching portrayal of the writing, printing, and circulation of books of 'Japano-martyrology.' The book is organized into two parts. The first part, "Spirituality of Writing, Publication History, and Japano-martyrology," addresses topics ranging from the historical background of Christianity in Japan to the publishers of Japano-martyrology. The second part, "Jesuits, Discalced Franciscans, and the Production of Japano-martyrology in the Early Modern Spanish World," features closer analysis of selected works of Japano-martyrology by Jesuit and Discalced Franciscan writers"--

Excerpt from Dominican: Missions and Martyrs in Japan Has so cruelly shed the blood of those who brought to it the tidings of peace. In 1640, when the Portuguese ambassadors were massacred at Nagasaki, their remains were sent back to Macao with this inscrip tion: As long as the sun continues to shine on the earth, let no Christian dare to enter Japan, and let every one understand that if the King of Spain himself, or the God of the Christians, or even the great Zaca (one of the principal deities of Japan) should violate this law, they shall be punished with death. Japan has kept its word. Persecution has never relented whensoever Christians have been found. These cruelties have been instigated some times by the English, sometimes by the Dutch. It is curious to read the same accusations of treason against the supre macy of the civil power and of harbouring priests in Japan as our own history records. Of the tortures endured by these true Apostles Of Jesus Christ it is hard to form any adequate conception. In the Great.
