In Search of Japan’s Hidden Christians by John Dougill (Tokyo: Tuttle Publishing, 2012) explores one of Japan’s most fascinating and little-known religious histories — the story of the Kakure Kirishitan, or “hidden Christians,” who kept their faith alive in secret for over two centuries of persecution.
Dougill combines historical research, travel writing, and cultural observation as he journeys through remote villages, ruins, and islands once home to these covert believers. His account reveals a resilient and complex tradition that adapted and endured in the shadows of Japanese history.
