Japan Had Christians In 283 A D, Claim Sparks Debate
uKyo API Researcher argues Nestorian Christians reached Japan by 283 A D, 1260 years earlier than widely accepted. Ikeda, cited by Shimpo, says a Persian fed a group of Chinese Christians to Japan. The Nestorian presence supposedly persisted for generations. The report stirs talk among Japanese Christians about St Francis Xavier. A Saint’s relic arm was to be brought from Nome for a 400th anniversary in Nagasaki from May 20 to June 12. A 1925 monument to the Saint exists. Life expectancy for white females in 1846 was about 71 years.
