520 _aPost-Tridentine Catholic Europe saw a renewed worship of relics. In Japan, “persecutions” were carried out by local authorities since the end of the 16th century. As a result, Japan was one of the main lands for the production of new holy objects, many of which were sent to Europe. Missionaries’writings evoke a real quest for such relics. In these writings, real facts are mingled with skillful rhetoric that is reminiscent of the early times of the Church. Already venerated in the main centers of the mission in Asia, relics from Japan also had an important impact on European Christendom. These objects not only decorated churches but also became subjects of dramas. They also served as an argument for the beatification of the first saints from the mission of the East Indies.
