A statue of Christ that was confiscated from Christians in the
village of Urakami, Nagasaki Prefecture, during the persecution of
Christians in Japan that lasted from the 1600s to the 1800s. It is
now in the possession of the Tokyo National, and is on loan to the
Nagasaki Museum of History and Culture, as part of an exhibition of
the history of Christianity in Japan. A portrait of Pope Gregory
XIII is also on display at the exhibition.
