The constituent assets include \"Hara Castle Site\" in Minamishima City, Nagasaki Prefecture, \"Oura Cathedral\" in Nagasaki City, \"Dezu Village in the Outer Sea\", \"Ono Village in the Outer Sea\", and \"Kuroshima Village\" in Sasebo City, \"Hirado's Holy Land and Settlement (Kasuga Settlement and Mount Aman)\" in Hirado City, \"Hirado's Holy Land and Settlement (Nakaenoshima)\", \"Nozaki Island Settlement Site\" in Osuga-cho, \"Takigashima Settlement\" in Shinkami-Goshima Town, \"Kugashima Settlement\" in Goshima City, \"Egami Settlement in Narushima (and its surroundings)\", 12 assets of \"Amakusa no Sakitsu Settlement\" in the city of Amakusa, Kumamoto, Japan. A solid organization of faith was created among the people of Nagasaki and the Kumamoto-Amakusa region, where missions were most intensively conducted during the Christian era. The subterfuge Christian, who continued his faith after being absent from the missionaries in the 17th-century in the Edo shogunate's prohibitive policies, fostered his own form of faith, which at first glance looked like a Japanese traditional religion, in order to continue that faith. At the end of the 18th century, he moved to various parts of the remote island, considering that he would come to terms with traditional Japanese religions and the general society in order to maintain community. The long-standing religious tradition, which had begun to break the religious religion after entering the modern era and had a turning point with encounters with missionaries, came to an end while being transformed. Each constituent asset tells the long history of people who secretly continued to convey their faith under the Christian Prohibition policy of the 17th to 19th centuries. * Sakitsu's \"Saki\" character is officially Yamaki.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":219869,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ep_exclude_from_search":false},"categories":[75],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-289981","travelpost","type-travelpost","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-spot"],"blocksy_meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/travelpost\/289981","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/travelpost"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/travelpost"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/travelpost\/289981\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/219869"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=289981"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=289981"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=289981"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
