Settlements in Kugashima

It is a constituent asset of the World Cultural Heritage "Hidden Christian Related Heritage of Nagasaki and the Amakusa Region" and is one of the destinations chosen by Hidden Christian to maintain the community of faith. At the end of the 18th century, due to a pact between the Goshima Domain and the Omura Domain, a lurking Christian peasant from the Omura Domain's open sea area moved to Kugashima as well as a settler. He created settlements such as Nagasato and Hoseishi-ryū [zazare], Ōkai [Obiraki], and Gouren. He said that he continued his faith secretly, mainly with leaders in each settlement, such as offering prayers to Maria Guanyin, who made the Guanyin statue a Maria statue. The inspiration for the "Goshima Collapse", a Christian crackdown that began in the first year of the Meiji era (1868), was that the hiding Christians of Kugashima and others were baptized in Nagasaki. Even now, historical sites such as the "Conciliation of the Prison" remain on the island, the remains of the loculo site of the fishing net-rolling operation carried out with Buddhist islanders, the Hamawaki Church and the Old Olympics Church built after the lifting of the ban, the hidden Christian cemeteries that remain in each settlement tell the history.

Egami Settlement in Naru Island (in and around Egami Cathedral)

One of the constituent assets of the World Cultural Heritage "Hidden Christian Related Heritage of Nagasaki and the Amakusa Region". Egami Settlement is a settlement located in the northwestern part of Naru Island in the central Five Island Islands. In the late Edo period, some of the hidden Christians who had migrated from the outer waters of the Omura clan in a pact with the Goshima Domain formed settlements in various places on the island, including Nagahae, Tsubakihara, and Nanetsu in Naru. Four houses were also settled in Egami, a valley close to the remote sea. It said that each settlement continued their faith secretly, with leaders as the center, and many people maintained their hiding-era faith in Narushima even after the ban on Christianity. All of the people in the village of Egami returned to Catholicism in Meiji 14 (1881), and in the late Meiji period built a simple church. The present-day Egami Cathedral was erected in 1918. If you stroll through the Egami district, you can see the status of the settlement of Tanisako Topography [Tanisako Chikei], which is a typical example of a migration site, and the quiet setting of the Egami Cathedral, which is a representative example of a wooden church adapted to it.

Senko-ji Temple

In the year of Kenkyu 2 (1191), the temple is said to have been the first in Japan to join zazen by the Eisai Zen master of Rinzai (Rin Zaishu), who returned from Song. At that time, there is still a tea plantation called Fuchunen, who is said to have planted the seeds of tea brought back from Song. Down the path of the tea plantation, there is a zazen stone and the ruins of Tomichun-an, which are said to be joined by the Eiseizen master. The tea-making and tea-making method (how to drink matcha) of the Song Chozen-bashi (sokyozen-rin) carried by the Honsei Zen master was later widely established in Japan as a tea ceremony by Senrikyu [Sennorikyu], but this story is not well known.
