Description: Several times a year, the Edo shogunate forced people to step on boards carved with images of Christ and Our Lady in order to "hunt Christians", and those who refused to do so were arrested and punished as "Christians." 🖼《REPRODUCTION OF VIRGIN MARY AND JESUS STATUE IN JAPANESE EDO PERIOD》 This product allows you to see the art of Japan's Edo period as it is. This is a realistic reproduction of a statue that was used in 1962 during the Edo period to abolish the Christian faith. All items are handmade by Japanese craftsmen. This is a valuable piece of art that allows you to learn about the existence of Christianity in Japan. 🖼《WHAT IS FUMI-E?》 In Japan's Edo period, around 1629, in order to abolish the Christian faith, the Edo shogunate forced people to step on statues of Christ and Mary to prove they were not Christians. The art symbolizing the statues of Christ and Mary used at that time is called Fumi-e, and this product is a replica of the Fumi-e from that time. It has a texture that looks like bronze painted on unglazed pottery. 🖼《HANDMADE BY JAPAN'S ONLY TRADITIONAL ARITA WARE CRAFTSMAN》 This product is handmade by Japan's only traditional Arita ware craftsman, and each piece is handmade by the craftsman. It is produced in Arita, Japan's first porcelain production area. Arita ware is a type of porcelain produced in the Arita area of Saga Prefecture, Japan, and has a history of 400 years.
