~ Martyrs of Japan ~

(† 1868-72)

[5]

 

The Romanization of Japanese names are taken from Juan Ruiz de Medina’s 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.
