| contents | Local Sources of Funding for the Japanese Mission Helena Rodrigues Historia In 1586, Alessandro Valignano, the Jesuit Visitor stated that the JapaneseChristian community was incapable of sustaining the Church. However, if we carefullyexamine the documents that the missionaries have left us, we can observe that this was not quite the case.The different types of assistance rendered by the Japanese (both Christian and non-Christian) appear to contradict Valignanos words. Both during key moments in the missions history as well as in its day to day functioning, this Japanese help was a constant feature. Despite the fact that most of the cases were not very stable sources of funding, these internal revenues contributed, to a greater or lesser degree, towards meeting the substantial expenses that the mission entailed. For a mission that faced so many difficulties, any kind of help would have been welcome. 2003 artículo científico 0874-8438 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=36100706 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=361 Bulletin of Portuguese - Japanese Studies application/pdf Universidade Nova de Lisboa Bulletin of Portuguese - Japanese Studies (Portugal) Num.7 |
