For hundreds of years, the acceptance and adoption of Christianity in Japan has been very controversial. Christianity, although it was successful in its beginnings in Japan, Western religions have not been able to take hold in Japan like other religions such as Buddhism, Shinto, and Kami worship. Because of it unique methods of practice, its recognition of Samurai, and its approach to helping the poor after dealing with years of war gave it an overall appeal to the people of Japan. However, Christianity in Japan was only survived by a major part of the population before it was shunned out in 1639 and then later reintroduced to Japanese Culture in the 1860’s (Ruppert 10/8).
Christianity was originally introduced in Japan by the Jesuit and Franciscans. The Jesuit methods of implementing Christianity started with a very adaptive terminology to teach the Japanese the Christian religion by putting it into a context they could understand.
