MARTYRS OF JAPAN († 1597-1637)

(I)

 

[The Hagiography Circle have adapted the Romanization of Japanese names employed by Juan Ruiz-de-Medina in his authoritative tome El Martirologio del Japón (Rome: Institutum Historicum S.I., 1999). The author used the Modified Hepburn System (Hebon-shiki) in the transliteration. The names in Japanese characters (using katakana for the Christian name and kanji for the surname) are enclosed in brackets.]
