- Authors
JUNHYOUNG MICHAEL SHIN
- Abstract
The essay discusses the use of self-flagellation as a penitential ritual by Catholics in Japan during the sixteenth century, an act introduced by Jesuit missionaries. Self-mortification was previously established in Japan by Buddhists, and the similarities of religious practices helped aid in the conversion of Japanese to Christianity. Other topics considered include depictions of the Passion of Jesus Christ, the expulsion of the Jesuits from Japan in 1614, and religious syncretism in Japan.
