On this point, the book I quoted from, "A Song for Nagasaki" portrays the "Hidden Christians" in a very favourable light. It was published by a company whose name included the word "Catholic", and I bought it in a Catholic bookstore in Fukuoka (but no, I'm not a Catholic). Maybe there has been some rehabilitation of this, what I have heard is, somewhat offbeat group. Does anyone know?
