[KineJapan] Films on Catholicism/Christianity in Japanese cinema

[Sybil Thornton]

Most of the things you will find have only the most tenuous relationship with history, such as the Nemuri Kyoshiro series starring Ichikawa Raizo as the illegitimate son of a woman raped by a Catholic priest (?????).
Check anything with Takayama Ukon or Sen no Rikyu (for Ogin), as well as Hosokawa Gracia.
Cheers,SAT

Dear Kyle,

You may also want to look at the various incarnations of Samurai 
Reincarnation / Makai Tensho ???? .
Two of the vengeful spirits in the story are the notable historical 
Christians Amakusa Shiro and Hosokawa Gracia.

Speaking of the latter, I recently attended a stage play based on 
Gracia's final days at Osaka Castle, in which she was played by Shimada 
Yoko, returning to the role she played twice before, over four decades 
ago: in the 1978 Taiga drama Ogon no hibi ????? and (sort of) in 
Shogun.

Best of luck with your thesis,
Tom Mes
