Outline of Research at the Start

In light of new studies on the term religion and its reconceptualization in modern Europe, Latin America, and East Asia, our research will clarify the following points: 1) how the experience of the Japanese Christian mission and its debates of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries impacted the reformulation of the idea of religio in Europe; 2) the distinctive features of the Japanese mission in this reformulation process; and 3) how the Jesuit tradition influenced contemporary Buddhist ideas and the type of adaptation observed in kirishitan practices throughout the Edo Period.
