This Wikipedia article covers Holy See-Japan relations, noting that Japan became the first Asian state to hold full diplomatic relations with the Holy See, established in 1942 under Emperor Showa during the Second World War partly in hope the Vatican could aid negotiations with the Allies. It documents the nunciature in Tokyo and the Japanese embassy to the Holy See but names no concordat or bilateral treaty.

Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier
3
A crowd sourced encyclopedia article used as the weaker relay form; it names the 1942 wartime establishment of full relations plainly and names no concordat, a narrow and checkable claim rather than an evaluative one, hence the lowest tier rather than exclusion.
