Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of the Church of England's missions in Southern Japan, Osaka, and the Kiu Shiu Dioceses. It begins in 1859 after the Japanese government had signed a treaty opening up trade with the West. After over two hundred years of isolation from the Western world, missionaries eager to spread Christianity to the Japanese people established missions in Japan. At the time, Christianity was seen as a potential threat to the nation's established Buddhist and Shinto traditions. However, at the end of the 19th century, it began to gain more acceptance, spurred by a growing sense of nationalism and the desire to adopt Western practices. The book explores this period of acceptance as well as the backlash, nationalism, and anti-foreign sentiment that followed. It also provides an overview of the work and hardships of missionaries in Japan at the time.
