The Kakure Kirishitan of Japan: A Study of Their Development, Beliefs and Rituals to the Present Day
Stephen Turnbull
Offers a study of the Japanese hidden Christians and the development of their faith and rituals from the 16th century to the present day. The Kakure Kirishitan are the descendants of the communities who maintained the Christian faith in Japan as an underground church during the time of persecution, and then chose to remain separate from the Catholic Church when religious toleration was granted in 1873.
