The Portuguese and the Samurai: Why Japan Expelled Its Western Allies
In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the dramatic end of the Portuguese presence in Japan. They trace the rise of Christianity under the Nanban trade, the cultural friction that followed, and the brutal crackdown by the Tokugawa shogunate — from the crucifixions in Nagasaki to the Shimabara Rebellion and the final sakoku isolation edicts. Along the way, they examine the role of the Kirishitan daimyo, the Portuguese Jesuit Alessandro Valignano, and the violent legacy of the fumi-e. A compact, vivid account of how Japan's most open era turned into its most closed.
