A community-edited reference article on Japan's Kirishitan (hidden Christian) history, covering Tokugawa Ieyasu's 1614 expulsion edict drafted by the monk Suden, the decline from an estimated peak of some 300,000 Japanese Christians, the fumi-e practice of forcing suspected believers to trample Christian images, and the sakoku closed-country policy that followed.
