Book Synopsis The Kakure Kirishitan of Japan by : Stephen R. Turnbull
Book excerpt: First major study in English of the Japanese 'hidden' Christians - the Kakure Kirishitan, who chose to remain separate from the Catholic Church when religious toleration was granted in 1873 - and the development of the faith and rituals from the 16th century to the present day.
