This week, we explore the “Christian conspiracies” of Edo Period Japan. Working backwards from the Osaka Incident of 1827, when a group of supposed Christian spirit mediums were uncovered as a part of a fraud investigation, we’ll look at how Christianity was transformed from an actual religion into an evil spiritual threat to the foundations of Japan itself.
