Nagasaki Oura Catholic Church ⛪ 長崎市の大浦天主堂 ⛪ Japan As It Truly Is
Oura Catholic Church was the oldest church in Japan and built by French missionaries in 1864. The original church was much smaller and the present structure was completed in 1879.
The first churches like this were not made for the Japanese, however. They were made after Japan was forced to open to more international trade, but before Japan's nationwide prohibition of Christianity was lifted. Foreigners could use the church but they were still forbidden to spread Christianity to the Japanese. In spite of that, some Japanese came out after about 250 years of going underground, and declared their religion. Many were arrested, persecuted and tortured. You can see where some were taken to, in Shimane, now the Maria Seido Chapel (Otome Toge Maria Chapel):
After international condemnation, in 1873 Japan finally allowed full religious freedom for all.
Today this is not used as a church any more, however. It's located right next to Glover Garden:
Oura Church is also knows an the Basilica of the Twenty-Six Holy Martyrs of Japan.

From our trip back in March.
Quote from japan-guide.com:
Oura Catholic Church (Oura Tenshudo) was constructed in the last years of the Edo Period in 1864 for the growing community of foreign merchants, who took up residence in Nagasaki after the end of Japan's era of seclusion.
Oura Catholic Church is considered the oldest standing Christian church in Japan, and is the only Western buidling to be designated as a national treasure.

Ground Zero, Nagasaki / The Atomic Bombing of the Japan's Vatican City
Atomic Bombs -Nagasaki was the largest Christian city in Japan
政治利用される慰霊の場 市の姿勢が助長 慰安婦資料館の看板も
(引用)
The Secret of Nagasaki
Real Secret is that the Ground Zero was Urakami Cathedral in Nagasaki
why monument in Hiroshima ? why No monument in Nagasaki ?
Two types of atomic bombs uranium & plutonium
THE BOMB with uranium to Hiroshima was made by Nazi Germany ?
Manhattan Project and plutonium type ? Nazi Germany and uranium type ? Even William Leonard Laurence were not allowed to see Hiroshima.
For the plan change, Nagasaki mayor had received a state guest treatment from the US.
Nagasaki mayor did not understand the background at all.
There is a great irony in this background.
Construction of the original Urakami Cathedral, a brick Neo-Romanesque building, began in 1895, after a long-standing ban on Christianity was lifted.
In 1865, the French priest Bernard Petitjean discovered that almost all the Urakami villagers were Christian. Between 1869 and 1873, over 3600 villagers were banished.
During their exile, 650 died martyrs. The persecuted Kakure Kirishitan (Hidden Christians) came back to their home village from 7 years exile in 1873, and decided to construct their own church.
They purchased the land of the village chief where the humiliating interrogations had taken place for two centuries. The annual fumi-e interrogations required those present to tread upon an icon of the Virgin Mary or Jesus. They thought the place was appropriate considering their memory of the long persecution. Construction of the building was started by Father Francine and was completed under the direction of Father Regani. The frontal twin spires stood 64 meters high were constructed in 1875. When completed in 1925 (Taishō 14), it was the largest Catholic church in East Asia.
The atomic bomb that fell on Nagasaki on August 9, 1945 detonated in Urakami only 500 m (1640 ft) from the cathedral, completely destroying it. As the Feast of the Assumption of Mary (August 15) was near, Mass was held on the day and was well attended. The resultant collapse and heat-wave cindered and buried all those present in the Cathedral. The destruction of the cathedral hit the religious community of Nagasaki the hardest, as they viewed it as a loss of spirituality. It had such an impact, that famous playwright Tanaka Chikao wrote his most successful play, Head of Mary, about the efforts of Christians in Nagasaki to reconstitute their faith by rebuilding the Virgin Mary.
A replacement was built in 1959, after a serious debate between the city government and the congregation. The city government suggested preserving the destroyed cathedral as a heritage site, and offered an alternate site for a new church.
However, the decision to preserve the destroyed cathedral was suddenly changed dramatically by Nagasaki mayor's decision.
The destroyed cathedral which was the largest Catholic church in East Asia, was removed.
Nagasaki should have been chosen as the last target place by the Christian country (US) ???
US decision makers did not care about the background at all ?
Protestant vs. Catholic ?
Decision-makers were not Christian ?
No information about Nagasaki ?

Discovering Nagasaki, under the heavy snow
Nagasaki had been in heavy show. JR Nagasaki-line is operation stopped all day, highways in Nagasaki are closed and all of the flight from/to Nagasaki airport ware cancelled. But street cars are not stopped.
The famous Ouratenshu-do (Oura Church), Grover Garden, Heiwakoen (Peace Park) and Megane-bashi (Grass Bridge) are in show and sometimes stormed.
This is a rare case that falling show in Nagasaki and this was the most terrible show in observation history.

日本におけるカトリック教会 - (Christianity in Japan)
The Roman Catholic Church in Japan is part of the worldwide Roman Catholic Church, under the spiritual leadership of the Pope in Rome. There are approximately 509,000 Catholics in Japan—just under 0.5% of the total population.[1] There are 16 dioceses, including three archdioceses[2] with 1589 priests and 848 parishes in the country.[1] The bishops of the dioceses form the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Japan, the episcopal conference of the nation.
The current Apostolic Nuncio to Japan is Italian Archbishop Alberto Bottari de Castello. Archbishop Bottari de Castello is the Holy See's ambassador to Japan as well as its delegate to the local church.
Catholicism, as well as Christianity in general, was introduced to Japan by Portuguese explorers and missionaries, particularly by the Jesuits, such as the Spaniard St. Francis Xavier and the Italian Alessandro Valignano. Portuguese Catholics also founded the city of Nagasaki, considered at its founding to be an important Christian center in the Far East, though this distinction is now obsolete. There is a modern Japanese translation of the whole Bible done by Federico Barbaro, a missioner. Nowadays, a large number of Japanese Catholics are ethnic Japanese from Brazil.
Christian missionaries arrived with Francis Xavier and the Jesuits in the 1540s and briefly flourished, with over 100,000 converts, including many daimyo in Kyushu. Suddenly in 1587 Christianity was repressed as a threat to national unity and ceased to exist publicly. Many Catholics went underground, becoming hidden Christians (隠れキリシタン kakure kirishitan?), while others lost their lives. Only after the Meiji Restoration was Christianity re-established in Japan.
