Hidden Christians’ Crosses
The Shimabara Rebellion of 1637 was Christianity’s last stand in Japan. The revolt was prompted by the shogunate’s persecution of Christians whose religion had gained quite a foothold in southern Japan. Afterwards the ban on Christianity was strictly enforced, forcing true believers underground.
But ingenious believers were still able to slyly include Christian symbols such as these crosses by disguising them as framework support.
