thanks for this. But I read some years ago which noted that there is a claim by Japan that Jesus is buried there (obviously pooh-poohed by modern Christians) and that there has been a form of Christianity there for 1900 years but it became popular at the time you mentioned. Are you aware of this or have any infor which supports or disproves this?

The story is famous enough around here. Any truth to it is rather unlikely. I could be wrong, but there is supposedly some degree of evidence that someone of foreign origin did end up in that village in Aomori many a year back and they had some sort of legend or story built up around said person. What I have heard from a few sources who don't take the whole thing seriously (I don't know that there are many who do), supposedly later when Christians came and heard about Jesus they were like "Oh yeah, we had a guy just like that who settled down and died here. Must have been the same guy" kind of deal. Not surprising really, I mean how many graves does Musashi have?
