O orientador, ____________________ Lisboa, 18 de Dezembro de 2013 A Martina, che non lasciò ch’io mi perdessi ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The years I needed to complete this Ph.D. dissertation corresponded to my entry into adulthood, thus extending my thanks to those who helped throughout the whole process of researching, reading, drafting and closing of the present work is as much as showing gratitude to those who helped me getting through a difficult stage in anyone’s life. Furthermore, these four years represented also my first encounter with diverse ways of life and people from the most different countries, both close to mine and as far as the globe permits. The first thanks, then, rightly goes to my supervisor Doutor João Paulo Oliveira e Costa, who not only guided me through the years with punctual and precious suggestions on my work thanks to his wide knowledge on the Jesuit mission in Japan and the complexity of early modern Portugal, but believed in my project even in its early stage, when it was nothing more than an immature working plan, which, only through his aid, slowly but progressively assumed the present outline. It is obvious, however, that it would have been impossible to carry out this thesis without the necessary means. It was in particular thanks to the doctoral fellowship bestowed by the Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia that I was able to cross Europe in order to track down ancient manuscripts, rare and out of print books. Still, I cannot forget to include the Centro de História de Além Mar, whose staff introduced me to the Portuguese academy and always provided answers when a question came up. Of all the archives and libraries I spent days in, the Archivum Romanum Societatis Iesu deserves a special mention. Most likely, the 60% of the consulted sources comes from the central archive of the Society of Jesus. Among the ARSI’s staff, Mauro Brunello proved continuously to be an unerring and reliable archivist, as well as a good friend, both in loco and from wherever I needed his help. I have to thank also the Fondazione Spinola, through which I was able to establish contact with Marquis Oberto Spinola, who spent a week with me searching for unknown manuscripts in the cold mornings of December 2011 and led me through the wings of Spinola’s castle in Tassarolo. It is impossible to list all the persons who helped me in the past four years, because their help did not come only from academic conversations, but took place in the most different situations. In any case, just to remain within the scientific domain, the assistances and suggestions, as well as their friendships, provided by (in alphabetical order) Alberto Baena, Angelo Cattaneo, Pedro Correia, Adolfo Cueto, Alexandra Curvelo, Vinícius Dantas, Miguel Lourenço, David Martin Marcos, Pedro Nobre and Elsa Penalva had proved invaluable. Last but not least my beloved ones, which, notwithstanding contrasts and disagreements, never failed to grant me their support in all these years and hopefully never will. Lisbon, December 2013 DF THE NAGASAKI-MACAO TRADE BETWEEN 1612 AND 1618: CARLO SPINOLA S.J. PROCURATOR OF JAPAN Daniele Frison RESUMO A nossa dissertação tem como objetivo analisar os compromissos e as obrigações do procurador da Companhia de Jesus no Japão durante os anos em que Carlo Spinola foi escolhido para ocupar tal posição, a segunda em ordem de importância, conforme o jesuíta italiano Francesco Pasio. O ofício de procurador era uma das posições que levavam os missionários da Companhia a lidar diretamente com as autoridades japonesas em Nagasáqui, uma vez que cabia ao procurador receber, verificar e distribuir os bens pertencentes à missão e que eram carregados no navio português de Macau. Além disso, o procurador, juntamente com outros padres superiores, tinha também incumbidas tarefas políticas relativas ao capitão-mor e aos Portugueses no Japão. Spinola assumiu o cargo quando o bakufu começou a mudar a sua atitude em relação à Igreja de Roma, devido a várias causas que, em parte, envolviam também a Companhia de Jesus, com conseqüências negativas para a missão. Para fornecer uma compreensão profunda deste cargo, propomos uma comparação entre o procuradorado de Spinola e outros procuradores no Japão, tendo escolhido em particular o caso do Português João Rodrigues Tçuzu. Além disso, uma vez que o Japão era um caso particular dentro do Padroado Português, parece-nos pertinente efectuar outra comparação e apresentar também o caso - embora mais conciso - do procurador da província brasileira da Companhia de Jesus. Através deste estudo de casos, tentaremos definir o procurador, tanto do ponto de vista prático - ou seja, os seus deveres, os seus compromissos e os seus recursos – como de uma perspectiva moral e filosófica – olhando para a literatura canônica produzida desde os primeiros tempos da Igreja Cristã. Até agora, a históriografia sobre e de autoria jesuítica apenas aborda o cargo de procurador de forma marginal. O nosso trabalho vai preencher essa lacuna. Além disso, o estudo do papel do procurador permite-nos, inevitavelmente, uma melhor compreensão dos mecanismos de participação da Companhia de Jesus no comércio entre Macau e Nagasáqui, desde o seu início – selado por Alessandro Valignano – até ao seu fim – contemporâneo do término do procuradorado de Spínola. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Carlo Spinola, Japão, Macau ABSTRACT Our dissertation aims to analyse the commitments and obligations of the procurator of the Society of Jesus in Japan during the years when Carlo Spinola (1564- 1622) was chosen to occupy such an important position, the second most important of the province, according to the Italian Jesuit Francesco Pasio. The office of procurator, in fact, was one of the positions which took the missionaries of the Society to deal directly with Japanese authorities in Nagasaki, for it was the procurator who was in charge of receiving, checking and distributing the share of goods belonging to the province loaded in the Portuguese ship from Macao. Furthermore, the procurator, along with other important fathers, had to deal also with political matters regarding the Capitão-Mór and the Portuguese in the Japanese country. Spinola assumed the office when the bakufu was changing its attitude towards the Roman Church, owing to several causes which partly involved also the Society of Jesus or which bore negative consequences for the mission. To provide a deep understanding of this office, we propose a comparison between Spinola’s procuratorship and how this office was handled by the most famous procurator in Japan: the Portuguese Father João Rodrigues Tçuzu. Furthermore, since Japan represented a unicum within the Portuguese Padroado, we deemed necessary to offer a further example and present also a sketch – although more concise – of the procurator in the Brazilian Province of the Society. Through this case study, we will try to define the procurator both from a practical point of view – i.e. his duties, his commitments, and his resources – and from a moral and philosophical perspective – that is the canonical literature regarding the relationship between the men of the cloth and commerce, which had been producing since the early times of the Christian Church. So far, works about the Society of Jesus and written by the Jesuits themselves had been coping with the office of procurator only marginally. Our work will fill that gap. Moreover, a research about the procurator will inevitably lead us to a better understanding of the mechanics of the participation of the Society in the Macao- Nagasaki trade from its beginning sealed by Alessandro Valignano to its end, which basically corresponded with the end of Spinola’s procuratorship.

Some Observations on the Weddings of Tokugawa Shogun’s Daughters – Part 1 Abstract In this study I shall discuss the marriage politics of Japan's early ruling families (mainly from the 6th to the 12th centuries) and the adaptation of these practices to new circumstances by the leaders of the following centuries. Marriage politics culminated with the founder of the Edo bakufu, the first shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu (1542-1616). To show how practices continued to change, I shall discuss the weddings given by the fifth shogun sunaT yoshi (1646-1709) and the eighth shogun Yoshimune (1684-1751). The marriages of Tsunayoshi's natural and adopted daughters reveal his motivations for the adoptions and for his choice of the daughters’ husbands. The marriages of Yoshimune's adopted daughters show how his atypical philosophy of rulership resulted in a break with the earlier Tokugawa marriage politics.

  • Research Trends in Japan on the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592(Imjin War) 1
    International Journal of Korean History (Vol.18 No.2, Aug. 2013) 31 Research Trends in Japan on the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592(Imjin War) 1 Nakano Hitoshi* Foreword The Japanese invasion of Korea in the late 16th Century is also called the Chosŏn (Joseon) Campaign or the Bunroku Keicho Offensive in Japan or the Imjin (Jp., Jinshin) War. In Japan, studies of the event have been actively conducted since the Edo period. There is a large amount of aca- demic research also in the early modern period. A historic review of the Bunroku Keicho Offensive that I wrote in regard of Japan in the early modern period appeared in the Report of the Second Round of the Korea- Japan Commission for the Joint Study of History, Subcommittee-2 (2010). Here, I intend to focus on recent research trends in Japan. Therefore, please refer to that previous article for discussions carried on in the period preceding Shōwa. In the main text, I intend to outline the research trends up to the 1970s, which relates to what I am asked to do, and then review the state of research in the 1980s and thereafter. Part of this will overlap with the contents of the previous article. I will deal with the task in units of a decade, and include explanation where necessary. * Kyushu University Faculty of Social and Cultural Studies 32 Research Trends in Japan on the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592(Imjin War) Research Trend up to the 1970s In the post-World War II period, a new view was adopted concerning the flow of the post-war study of history, inheriting the demonstrative research of the pre-war period.

  • A Biomolecular Anthropological Investigation of William Adams, The
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A biomolecular anthropological investigation of William Adams, the frst SAMURAI from England Fuzuki Mizuno1*, Koji Ishiya2,3, Masami Matsushita4, Takayuki Matsushita4, Katherine Hampson5, Michiko Hayashi1, Fuyuki Tokanai6, Kunihiko Kurosaki1* & Shintaroh Ueda1,5 William Adams (Miura Anjin) was an English navigator who sailed with a Dutch trading feet to the far East and landed in Japan in 1600. He became a vassal under the Shogun, Tokugawa Ieyasu, was bestowed with a title, lands and swords, and became the frst SAMURAI from England. "Miura" comes from the name of the territory given to him and "Anjin" means "pilot". He lived out the rest of his life in Japan and died in Hirado, Nagasaki Prefecture, in 1620, where he was reportedly laid to rest. Shortly after his death, graveyards designated for foreigners were destroyed during a period of Christian repression, but Miura Anjin’s bones were supposedly taken, protected, and reburied. Archaeological investigations in 1931 uncovered human skeletal remains and it was proposed that they were those of Miura Anjin. However, this could not be confrmed from the evidence at the time and the remains were reburied. In 2017, excavations found skeletal remains matching the description of those reinterred in 1931. We analyzed these remains from various aspects, including genetic background, dietary habits, and burial style, utilizing modern scientifc techniques to investigate whether they do indeed belong to the frst English SAMURAI. William Adams was born in Gillingham, England in 1564. He worked in a shipyard from the age of 12, and later studied shipbuilding techniques, astronomy and navigation.

  • Did You Know?
    Did You Know? By *Marjorie Charlot Black presence in the military and in wars can be traced to various periods of the ancient world and across cultures. Jugurtha was a North African patriot who initiated the Jugurthine War (112–105 B.C.). His guerrilla warfare would inflict embarrassing defeat upon the Roman legions. Authors Brunson and Rashidi quote Graham Webster when he wrote, “The wars of Jugurtha demonstrated the value of the nimble Moorish horsemen who Trajan later found so useful against the Dacians.”1 Black Conquistadors Juan Bardales was a free black slave who participated in the conquests of Honduras and Panama. For the part he played in the conquest of Honduras, he received an award consisting of an annual subsidy of 50 pesos.2 Nuflo de Olano was a slave conquistador and explorer. He was part of the Vasco Núñez de Balboa expedition, along with 30 other Africans, 190 Spaniards, and 1,000 Native Americans when they went through the jungle to cross the Isthmus of Panama. De Olano in 1513 was with Balboa when they first saw the Pacific Ocean.3 Antonio Pérez was a free North African who was a cavalryman and one of Diego de Losada’s most valued captains in 1568. Pérez took part in the conquest of Venezuela.4 He was described as “an old soldier of African wars who had been with the emperor at the storming of Tunis.”5 Juan Portugués was either black African or black Portuguese. He was involved in the conquest of Venezuela.6 Miguel Ruíz was a free Spanish mulatto who was a conquistador in Peru and one of two blacks in Francisco Pizarro’s company at Cajamarca.

  • Hideie Ukita and the Town of Okayama 】
    Email Newsletter from Mayor of Okayama (97) January 15, 2018 Issue 【Hideie Ukita and the Town of Okayama 】 Hello, I’m Masao Omori, Mayor of Okayama. I guess there are unexpectedly few citizens who know how Okayama City, where we live without particular attention, was formed. This time, I would like to share some of my thoughts. Dating back more than 400 years, when Hideyoshi Toyotomi achieved dominating the whole country in 1590, Hideie Ukita, the ruler of the land of Okayama at that time, launched the construction of Okayama Castle. It was a big undertaking that the castle had to be constructed with the location changed to Okayama, which was 100m to the east from Ishiyama where his father Naoie’s castle located. Also, it contained the construction of a huge town in a place called Katanosho (near Medical School of Okayama University), a tiny village which only held few houses. Thus, it is told that he aggressively promoted the construction of the castle and castle town while gathering samurai retainers, traders and manufacturers across the country, and altering the route of Sanyodo Road. For instance, one sake brewery which produced Kojima-shu (s ake of Kojima) at that time was forced to move to the castle town from kori (a county) of the southern part of Okayama City. (Kojima-shu is still sold by Miyashiya Sake Brewery.) Then, why was Hideie able to promote such a forceful project? I guess that is probably because Hideie was especially cherished and under the protection of Hideyoshi’s influence. Hideie was given one kanji character 秀 (hide : meaning ‘superior’) from Hideyoshi, who later became the ruler of the whole country.

Hideyoshi planned to invade and conquer China, ruled at the time by the Ming dynasty, and when the Korean court refused to allow his troops to cross their country, Korea became the first step in this ambitious plan of conquest. Though ultimately ending in failure and retreat, the Japanese armies initially drove the Koreans all the way to China before the decisive victories of Admiral Yi Sunsin and the Korean navy disrupted the Japanese supply routes whilst Chinese armies harried them by land. This book describes the region’s first ‘world war’ that caused a degree of devastation in Korea itself that was unmatched until the Korean War of the 1950s.

  • INTER-RELIGIO 34 / Winter 1998 and Buddhism.(1605, the Three Vols
    Asian Christian Writers in the 16th–18th Centuries A Selection From Japan John England SIXTEENTH AND SEVENTEENTH CENTURIES The “Christian century” following Xavier’s arrival in 1549 saw the emer- gence of Christian writings in many forms, both by Japanese converts and through their collaboration with Jesuit scholars. 1. Amongst the earliest Christian writers for whom some texts are extant are: a) Paulo Yoho-ken (1510-1596) has been termed the “father of Japanese Christian literature.” Physician, catechist and later member of the Society of Jesus, his writings include plays on Christ’s Passion and on Christmas, and the stories Kurofune Monogatari (Tale of the Black Ship) and Bungo Monogatari (Tale of Bungo) of which only extracts are ex- tant. He was also co-author, and translator, for a Catechism, for “Lives of the Saints”, a grammar, a dictionary and other works. b) Vincente Hoin (b. 1538, son of Yoho-ken was said in the “Cata- logue” of 1593 to have “written and translated the greater part of the spiritual and learned books which have thus far been written in Japanese” (Laures, 1957, 40). See volumes listed below for the years 1586-1599. c) Hosokawa, Tama Gracia (1563-1600), wife of Hosokawa Tadaoki, wrote a series of letters to Gregorio de Cespedes S.J. (Laures, 1959, 98ff.) and also a number of poems (Heuvers 1938, 277; Laures 1956, 113f.) in the years 1587-1600. (Her life is given in Boker 1934-5, Lau- res 1956 and Laures 1959.) d) Fucan Fabian (b. 1565) is noted for both the first Japanese work of apologetic, and (later) for the first anti-Christian book in Japan: Myotai Mondo (Dialogue between Myoshu and Yutei) contains an out- line of Christian doctrine and a refutation of Confucianism, Shinto This is the fourth paper on Asian Christian Writers in 16th-18th Centuries to be published in Inter- religio.

  • From Ieyasu to Yoshinao
    2021 Summer Special Exhibition From Ieyasu to Yoshinao The Transition to a Powerful Pre-Modern State July 17 (Sat.) - September 12 (Sun.), 2021 INTRODUCTION Striving through the sengoku (Warring States) period, Tokugawa Ieyasu (1543-1616) finally achieved the unification of the whole country. Yoshinao (1601-1650), the ninth son of Ieyasu, was assigned to govern the Owari domain during the era of peace. The two were father and son, yet they lived in contrasting times. Yoshinao, who inherited a large fortune of assets and texts from Ieyasu, established the foundations of the Owari domain and led Nagoya to prosperity. Focusing on the principles of their rule, passed down from Ieyasu to Yoshinao, this exhibition traces their lives, their administration, and Yoshinao’s feelings towards Ieyasu, as observed in historical documents and inherited objects. Part 1 Tokugawa Ieyasu, Toyotomi Family, and Tokugawa Yoshinao [ Exhibits Number: 1-42 ] Exhibition Rooms at Hosa Library [Section 1] Ieyasu during the Age of the Warring States: the Eve of Yoshinao’s Birth This section deals with the dramatic changes that occurred in the latter part of Ieyasu’s life, spanning the battle of Nagakute in 1584—in which Ieyasu and Nobukatsu (the second son of Nobunaga) fought Hideyoshi after Nobunaga’s death in 1582, Ieyasu’s subsequent vassalage to Hideyoshi, and the battle of Sekigahara in 1600. [Section 2] Yoshinao during the Age of the Warring States After the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi on the 18th of the 8th month of 1598, Ieyasu increasingly came into conflict with Hideyoshi’s heir, Hideyori, and his vassals of western Japan, led by Ishida Mitsunari.
