evil

There was a novelist named "Okamoto Kido".
He was born in this era.
　
There was his detective story that takes place in Edo at this time.
(Perhaps Sherlock Holmes of London was model.)

Rumors of hidden Christians at that time come out in this novel.
　
Witch.
Secret society of evil.

It's almost this feeling.


"Before the Meiji Restoration，most people at the time were believed superstitions."
Of course Okamoto had wrote so.

　
・・・・・・・・・　
　
Therefore most officials of the new government still had feeling like that.
　
"Hidden Christians of Japan and Christianity are the same."
Probably they did not such recognized.
　
"Expulsion of the foreigners is a method of ancient Japan."
"Prohibition of hidden Christians is a method of ancient Japan."
Probably there was the same feeling illusion.
　
・・・・・・・・・　

"Right now，you guys must stop the secret Christian faith."
The new government had ordered so to people of Urakami.
　
Of course they refused.
