A proposito di questo titolo

In this episode of Tokugawa Japan, Lucas and Luna dive into the dramatic story of the Shimabara Rebellion (1637-1638), a violent uprising of mostly Christian peasants and ronin against the Tokugawa shogunate. They explore the roots of the rebellion in the brutal rule of Matsukura Katsuie, the daimyo of Shimabara domain, who crushed his subjects with extreme taxation and religious persecution. The conversation covers the siege of Hara Castle, the shogunate's use of Dutch naval bombardment, and the total annihilation of the rebels. Lucas explains how the rebellion sealed Japan's isolationist policy (sakoku) and led to the systematic suppression of Christianity, driving it underground into a hidden faith known as Kakure Kirishitan. The episode highlights the resilience of these believers, who preserved their religion in secret for over two centuries until the reopening of Japan in the 19th century.
