Exile of Christian Daimyō Dom Justo Takayama

November 8th, 1614 410 years ago

Dom Justo Takayama, a Christian daimyō, was exiled to the Philippines by shōgun Tokugawa Ieyasu due to his faith and political affiliations. This action reflected the shōgun’s increasing tensions with Christianity in Japan and aims to suppress its influence among the ruling class. Takayama, known for his loyalty to the Christian cause, faced this severe punishment as part of a broader movement against Christianity in the country during a time of significant religious conflict.
