I think it's very difficult to live.
Does this culture come from China?

March 14, 2024 - 12:14 pmShogum, The Worst Assassination of Christians in History.
The empire of Japan, so called from one of the islands of which it is composed, was discovered by Portuguese merchants about the year 1541.
The Jesuits, arrived in Japan in 1549 including St. Francis Xavier a little later, they baptized great numbers, and whole provinces received the faith. In 1587 there were in Japan above two hundred thousand Christians.
The Dutch arrived and In 1592 the persecution started, and several Japanese converts received the crown of martyrdom. The emperor Tagcosama, one of the proudest and most vicious of men, was worked up into rage and jealousy by a suspicion suggested by Dutch merchants desirous of the monopoly of this trade, that the view of the missionaries in preaching the Christian faith was to facilitate the conquest of their country by the Portuguese or Spaniards.
In 1602, Cubosama renewed the bloody persecution, and many Japanese converts were beheaded, crucified, or burned. In 1614, new cruelties were exercised to overcome their constancy, as by bruising their feet between certain pieces of wood, cutting off or squeezing their limbs one after another, applying red-hot irons or slow fires, flaying off the skin of the fingers, putting burning coals to their hands, tearing off the flesh with pincers, or thrusting reeds into all parts of their bodies, and turning them about to tear their flesh, till they should say they would forsake their faith: all which, innumerable persons, even children, bore with invincible constancy till death.
In 1616, Xogun succeeding his father Cubosama in the empire, surpassed him in cruelty. The most illustrious of these religious heroes was F. Charles Spinola. He was of a noble Genoese family, he begged to be sent on the Japanese mission. He arrived there in 1602; laboured many years in that mission, gained many to Christ by his mildness, and lived in great austerity, for his usual food was only a little rice and herbs. He was arrested by Dutch who delievered him to the Japanese authorities and he suffered four years a most cruel imprisonment. He was conducted from his last prison at Omura to Nangasaqui, where fifty martyrs suffered together on a hill within sight of that city, nine Jesuits, four Franciscans, and six Dominicans, the rest seculars: twenty-five were burned, the rest beheaded. The twenty-five stakes were fixed all in a row, and the martyrs tied to them. Fire was set to the end of the pile of wood twenty-five feet from the martyrs, and gradually approached them, two hours before it reached them. F. Spinola stood unmoved, with his eyes lifted up towards heaven, till the cords which tied him being burnt, he fell into the flames, and was consumed on the 2nd of September, in 1622, being fifty-eight years old. Many others, especially Jesuits, suffered variously, being either burnt at slow fires, crucified, beheaded, or thrown into a burning mountain, or hung with their heads downward in pits, which cruel torment usually put an end to their lives in three or four days.
In 1639, the Portuguese and all other Europeans, except the Dutch, were forbid to enter Japan. Shogum and Christians extermination was a good business for the Dutch. However, it was the Christians courage and their great faith in Christ, that most marked Japan until modern times.

Burst out laughing at the dialogue delivery. Classic English deadpan humour.

March 14, 2024 - 12:14 pmI know that it seems their downplaying the swordfights tp focus more on the the story and character development. I just hope they'd put an epic battle scene. I love the build up.
