00:00Although it was a coincidental victory, all the defeats were inevitable.
00:08How did the foreigners, who had colored the history of Japan, lose?
00:13What was the cause and mistake behind it?
00:19This time, I will talk about the defeat of the Christian leader,
00:24Takayama Ukon, who devoted his life to the faith.
00:29After serving Nobunaga Oda, he became a member of the Toyotomi Seiken family.
00:38As a warrior, should he live as a Christian believer?
00:44What is the last lesson he learned?
00:48Life philosophy learned from the failures of the defeated.
00:53The lesson from the defeat of the Christian leader.
01:02What do we learn from the failures of the Christian leaders in history?
01:09I'm Yuri Nakanishi, voice of Shinko, the lesson from the defeat of the Christian leader.
01:14And I'm Jun Ito, a historian.
01:17Nice to meet you.
01:19I think many people are excited when Christmas approaches every year.
01:25Christmas is very popular with Japanese people.
01:29Yes, it is.
01:31But the history of Christmas in Japan is quite old.
01:35Actually, it's old.
01:37Christmas is called Kotansai in Japanese.
01:42The oldest record in Japan is 21 years.
01:47In 1552, with the permission of Ouchi Yoshitaka, who made the wish of Xavier,
01:53Christmas was held in Yamaguchi City.
01:56Yamaguchi City.
01:58So, Christ came to Japan during the Sengoku period,
02:01and then Christmas came to Japan.
02:04That's right.
02:06This time, I'd like to focus on the defeat of Takayama Ukon,
02:12the leader of the Sengoku period.
02:17You're quite interested in Takayama Ukon.
02:21What are you interested in?
02:23Takayama Ukon died abroad at the end of his life.
02:30It was quite shocking that such a person was in the Sengoku period.
02:35I'm very curious about what kind of life he spent and what kind of choices he made.
02:41There were a few other people besides Takayama Ukon.
02:44Was Takayama Ukon a special person?
02:47Yes, he was a special person.
02:50I think he was the one who had the highest tendency to worship.
02:54He was a Christian since he was a child.
02:58According to an early record, in 1576,
03:02a three-story Namban Temple was built in Kyoto.
03:06It is said that Takayama Ukon supported the construction fund at that time.
03:11What is Namban Temple?
03:13Namban Temple is a Christian temple or a church.
03:17However, at that time, a church building could not be built in Japan.
03:21When a Christian bishop designated something like this,
03:25a carpenter would build a temple.
03:28So the general public called it Namban Temple.
03:32Not only Takayama Ukon,
03:34he also held mass in the temple,
03:36such as a rejuvenation festival and a shopping festival.
03:39The number of believers in both countries increased dramatically.
03:42It seems that he was very persuasive.
03:44Even though he was from Kansai,
03:46he converted Kuroda Kanbei, Gamo Ujisato, and Hosokawa Garashi into Christians.
03:51I think we can evaluate his persuasive speech.
03:58This time, we will explore the teachings of Takayama Ukon
04:01while considering the defeat of Takayama Ukon.
04:05First, let's look back at the life of Takayama Ukon.
04:08Please look at this.
04:11Takayama Ukon, who survived the war as a Christian bishop,
04:17was born as the son of Takayama Hidanokami,
04:21the lord of Setsu, around 1552.
04:26When he was 12 years old,
04:28his father converted to Christianity,
04:31and he was baptized with his family and about 150 family members.
04:38Ukon was given the baptismal name of Jusuto,
04:41which means justice and justice.
04:45When he was 22 years old, he was handed over to his family,
04:49and he became the boss of Takatsuki.
04:51Takayama Ukon built a church in Jokamachi,
04:55and became a Christian bishop.
04:59In 1578, Murashige Araki, who was in charge of Setsu,
05:05revolted against Oda Nobunaga, the lord of Setsu.
05:09Ukon obeyed Nobunaga and killed Murashige.
05:14Ukon gained Nobunaga's trust,
05:17and built a new school called Seminario in Jokamachi,
05:21aiming to further develop Christianity.
05:26In 1582, when Nobunaga died around Honnoji,
05:31Ukon joined Hashiba Hideyoshi
05:34and defeated Akechi Mitsuhide, a Japanese.
05:38After that, Ukon participated in many wars as Hideyoshi's vassal,
05:43and supported Ukon's unification of the country.
05:48However, in 1587, when Hideyoshi issued the Bateren Conquest Order,
05:54Ukon declared that it would protect the faith,
05:58and was expelled from the country.
06:02Ukon moved around the country,
06:05and was invited by Toshie Maeda to the country of Kaga.
06:10Ukon took part in the construction of Kanazawa Castle,
06:13and contributed to the Maeda family for 1,600 years.
06:18When a war broke out,
06:20Ukon joined Toshinaga Maeda, the eldest son of Toshie,
06:24and joined Ieyasu Tokugawa,
06:26and joined the war in the north.
06:30After the war, Ukon continued to support the Maeda family,
06:33and contributed to the spread of Christianity.
06:36Eventually, the Maeda family became more vigilant about Christianity,
06:40and issued the Kinkyo Order.
06:44As a result, Ukon was expelled from the country.
06:49The Moment of Ukon's Defeat
06:53Why did Ukon have to leave Japan?
06:58This time, we will talk about the defeat of Takayama Ukon,
07:01who followed his own faith.
07:04Now, let's look back at the events of Takayama Ukon's life.
07:10What was the Takayama family like when Ukon was born?
07:15According to the records,
07:17Takayama was a black man from Takayama village,
07:20in the country of Settsu.
07:23What was Christianity like at the time?
07:28At the beginning of Takayama's reign,
07:31the Takayama family was very rare,
07:34so there was no resistance to accepting Christianity.
07:37However, Christianity is a monotheistic religion.
07:40Therefore, the Takayama family received a fierce evacuation
07:44from Shinto, Judo, and Buddhism.
07:47The Takayama family received a fierce evacuation from Shinto, Judo, and Buddhism.
07:50The Takayama family received a fierce evacuation from Shinto, Judo, and Buddhism.
07:53The Takayama family received a fierce evacuation from Shinto, Judo, and Buddhism.
07:56However, upon taking action again,
07:58Takayama family has become a religion
08:00supporting Islam's rule.
08:02Especially, the economic condition has risen in the Takayama family.
08:05Especially, the economic condition has risen in the Takayama family.
08:08The Takayama family has its own cultures,
08:11but we are grateful for the Christianity
08:14who gave us both our beliefs and nurtured each other with their culture.
08:17And we want to win the freedom of faith.
08:21And we want to win the freedom of faith.
08:26In other words, the one-sided domination of the rulers was a great salvation for the people who had no means to fight against the lawlessness.
08:36That was the explosive penetration of Christianity.
08:39On the contrary, the structure of suppression of the rulers was born, and it reached its peak in the early Shimanbara Rebellion in the Edo period.
08:47What kind of evaluation did Takayama Ukon receive?
08:54There are three faces in Ukon.
08:57Ukon as a Buddhist, Ukon as a Christian, and Ukon as a Chanoi.
09:02Ukon's name was also used in the Chanoi world.
09:06There is a book called Nihonshi written by a scholar named Louis Freus.
09:11According to it, Ukon is active, has a clear mind, and has the effect of a rare temple.
09:17In addition, he is an excellent speaker who understands Portuguese and is also a great preacher.
09:22He is praised by many people.
09:25However, Freus gives a high rating to Christian ministers and ministers of Christianity.
09:31You have to think about it a little bit.
09:34There may be some praise for him.
09:38I told him to think about it a little bit.
09:41Even without Christianity, the fact that Ukon was adopted by Nobunaga and Hideyoshi does not change.
09:47In other words, I think there is no doubt that Ukon was outstanding and excellent.
09:52So it means that he was excellent not only as a Christian minister, but also as a Buddhist.
09:58That's right.
10:00How did Ukon survive the chaos of the Sengoku Rebellion as a Buddhist and as a Christian?
10:08There was a connection between the two.
10:12Please take a look at this.
10:15In 1549, a Christian who came to Japan spread to Kinai, where the war continues.
10:26Professor Kawamura, a member of the Catholic Central Council at Jochi University, explains the reason for this.
10:36The Sengoku Rebellion was a time when people faced death every day.
10:47I think that when a Christian who emphasized salvation came to Japan,
10:53he made a big impact.
10:58Ukon was 12 years old when his father, Hidanokami, came to Japan.
11:04He received the Holy Spirit with his family and learned the teachings of Christianity with enthusiasm.
11:11People are all equal in front of God.
11:16Ukon and his father worked together to spread the word of God.
11:24Mr. Nakanishi, who is familiar with the relationship between Takayama Ukon and Christianity, explains why the rebellion went well.
11:35Takayama Ukon's father was in a position like that.
11:40They were the main members of the village during the Sengoku Rebellion.
11:45When they thought it was funny, the villagers around them said,
11:49This is good.
11:51I think it's a reality that spreads from there.
11:54However, in 1573, there was a big incident that shook the life of Ukon.
12:03There was a battle between the lord of the time, Wada Korenaga, who killed Takayama's father.
12:14After a fierce battle, Ukon was exiled by Korenaga, but he was also injured.
12:25It is said that he had a deep wound on his neck and was in a situation where he could not lose his life.
12:35Is my life over?
12:40Ukon wandered the world of life and death.
12:45However, two months later, he miraculously recovered.
12:52Mr. Umeda, who studies Ukon in Takatsuki City, Osaka,
12:57I imagine that this experience of life in the old city made Ukon realize the existence of God.
13:06I think I have to live in such a conflict.
13:11But is that all right?
13:14I think I had time to think about it in such a conversation.
13:19I think it was then that Ukon Takayama awoke to Christianity.
13:26Ukon felt that his life was saved by God.
13:33There is a God who causes miracles.
13:36I have to spread his precious teaching to every corner of the world.
13:42After the conflict, Ukon became a new leader of Takatsuki City.
13:47Ukon put his efforts into the development of the Joka town and its non-religious activities.
13:53Takatsuki City, Osaka Prefecture, is located in the east of Settsu where Ukon ruled.
14:00Here is the Catholic Takatsuki Church, which holds the Takayama Ukon Memorial Cathedral.
14:09Mr. Tamura of the Takayama Ukon verification team, a Christian,
14:15talks about Ukon's character and achievements.
14:21He is said to be a merciful person.
14:24In the Joshu period, we helped the poor.
14:29We helped each other by following the teachings of Christ.
14:34I think that was the basis of our town.
14:38At that time, Ukon promoted a progressive welfare policy.
14:44Ukon organized a volunteer organization called IMA.
14:48Ukon took care of the children who lost their parents in the war.
14:51Ukon took care of the people who lost their lives in poverty.
14:55Ukon took care of the people who lost their lives in poverty.
15:04As a result, the number of Christian believers in the village increased by 70%.
15:09Ukon's reputation as a good leader spread.
15:14Mr. Nobunaga highly praised Ukon's ability to govern the Takatsuki,
15:19a transport company that connects Kyoto and Sakai.
15:23a transport company that connects Kyoto and Sakai.
15:30Mr. Nobunaga knew that Takatsuki's boss was doing a good job.
15:38Mr. Nobunaga knew that Takatsuki's boss was doing a good job.
15:43Mr. Nobunaga knew that Takatsuki's boss was doing a good job.
15:50Haraki Murashige, who was the most powerful man in Settsu,
15:54Haraki Murashige, who was the most powerful man in Settsu,
15:57disobeyed Mr. Nobunaga.
16:01Mr. Nobunaga persuaded Mr. Murashige to reconsider.
16:05Mr. Murashige was forced to be a hostage to his family.
16:15I have no choice but to submit to Murashige.
16:21Mr. Nobunaga was threatened by Mr. Murashige.
16:24Mr. Nobunaga was threatened by Mr. Murashige.
16:31I became a pair of choppers in his eyes.
16:35It was a chance for both parties to shoot down my achievement.
16:43They trusted Mr. Nobunaga and they killed the children.
16:47They trusted Murashige and they killed the religious leaders.
16:53I can't abandon either of them, but Kakunaru Uewa...
17:02What is the decision Ukon has made after all this time?
17:24Is it the life of my son, or the life of the people?
17:29Ukon has thought long and hard about it, and has come to the decision of resignation.
17:37Ukon is a so-called Shini-Shou-Zoku, who was created by the Washi,
17:42who did not do anything wrong.
17:44He is the only one who is suitable for the position of Nobunaga.
17:49Please save the life of Senkyo-shi and the people.
17:55In return, I will throw away my sword.
18:01Nobunaga was impressed by Ukon's determination to quit the Washi,
18:07and not only listened to his wishes, but also embraced Ukon as his own.
18:14Ukon, who was given a mansion by Azuchi, the governor of Nobunaga,
18:19after having built 20,000 houses in his previous territory,
18:23continues to commit more evil deeds in the presence of the people,
18:27who understand Christianity.
18:30If I follow Lord Nobunaga, the teachings of God will spread to the end of the world.
18:37This is the story of Yasaki, who was so convinced that he was following the path of faith.
18:44According to the story of Honnoji, Nobunaga suddenly left this world.
18:51After that, Ukon learned that Hideyoshi led a large army and was retreating from the Chinese region in a hurry,
18:58and made a decision.
19:01If Lord Hideyoshi takes over the country, the teachings of God will spread further and the people will be saved.
19:10And Ukon took the lead in the battle of Yamazaki and defeated Mitsuhide along with Hideyoshi.
19:20After that, Ukon joined several battles with Hideyoshi, who aimed to unify the country.
19:30In addition, Ukon instructed the Chajin Sen no Rikyu, who was close to Hideyoshi,
19:35to deepen the relationship with the first Daimyo through Chanoyu.
19:41Ukon learned the teachings of God from Kuroda Kanbei and Gamou Ujisatora, and increased the number of believers.
19:49In 1585, Ukon was exiled to Akashi, the country of Harima, and continued to grow as a Daimyo.
20:00However, two years later, a shocking event occurred.
20:06Hideyoshi issued a ban on the worship of Christ, the Bateren Cancellation Order.
20:14The Bateren Cancellation Order wanted to ban the worship of Christ,
20:20because it was believed that the worship of Christ would lead to the destruction of all religions.
20:26But Ukon wanted to judge whether the Bateren Cancellation Order would ban the worship of Christ or the worship of God.
20:34When Hideyoshi went to attack Kyushu, the Christian religion spread more than expected,
20:40and the believers became a large force.
20:48Many Christian Daimyo believed that the worship of Christ was banned, and obeyed Hideyoshi.
20:57Ukon was also forced to abandon the worship of Christ through Rikyura, the priest of Chanoyu.
21:05However,
21:08he had no intention of abandoning the worship of Christ.
21:13He didn't care if his car was destroyed.
21:17Ukon chose God over the Lord and God.
21:24This touched Hideyoshi's spirit, and Ukon became happy.
21:30I don't think he hesitated.
21:33If he wanted to abandon the worship of Christ, he would abandon the Bateren Cancellation Order.
21:41Ukon, who became a slave from Daimyo,
21:45was confined to Konishi Yukinaga, a Christian Daimyo.
21:49He lived in Yukinaga for about a year.
21:55When the Bateren Cancellation Order came to an end,
21:58Toshie Maeda of Kaga, who was also a Chajin, welcomed him as a bishop.
22:06Why did Toshie, Hideyoshi's godfather, abandon Ukon?
22:12Ukon's know-how was very powerful.
22:15He didn't want to go to Kanazawa just for tea.
22:19He wanted to work in an organization.
22:24Ukon entrusted Toshie with one wish.
22:30He didn't care about the taxes, but he wanted to build a church.
22:37Toshie accepted his wish, and Ukon traveled to Kanazawa.
22:46Toshie, Hideyoshi's godfather
22:49I have a strong impression that he was a very clumsy person.
22:55Yes, he was clumsy.
22:57At that time, Hideyoshi's Bateren Cancellation Order was very loose.
23:02So, even if he believed in it in his heart,
23:05he would follow it superficially.
23:08Ukon's freedom was very loose.
23:14In the case of Ukon, he didn't like the hypocrisy.
23:19He had a duality.
23:21He could believe in it in his heart,
23:24but he couldn't abandon Christianity superficially.
23:27That was both Ukon's good point and his clumsy point.
23:32When Araki-murashin rebelled,
23:35Ukon followed Nobunaga's order.
23:38But at that time, he was determined to quit the samurai.
23:41I think he was serious about it.
23:43But we don't know how serious he was.
23:46Because Ukon continued to be active as a samurai.
23:50He was particularly active in the battle of Yamazaki.
23:54He was attacked by 15,000 Akichi troops with 2,000 soldiers.
23:58Ukon was able to defeat 15,000 Akichi troops,
24:01and he was the only one among his allies.
24:04It was a miraculous victory.
24:06In that sense, Ukon continued to be active as a samurai.
24:10It's hard to see his true intentions.
24:13Yes, it is.
24:15After this, Ukon invaded Hideyoshi.
24:20But Hideyoshi issued a Bateren Cancellation Order.
24:24Why did Ukon accept the Bateren Cancellation Order?
24:31Here is Jun Ito's point of view on the history of Ukon.
24:40First of all, I think we should not forget Ukon's achievements.
24:46We can say that Ukon's achievements were appreciated.
24:50There is a theory that Ukon was an excellent swordsman in the castle.
24:55I think it's a good example that if you have a speciality, you can be successful.
25:02I guess there must have been a reason for him to stay in the Maeda family.
25:06This is a difficult question.
25:09I think it's possible that Maeda Toshii or Hideyoshi actively accepted the Bateren Cancellation Order.
25:16Is there a possibility that Hideyoshi accepted the Bateren Cancellation Order?
25:19There are not many documents that show that Hideyoshi was close to Toshiie and Ukon.
25:24So, Hideyoshi asked Toshiie to keep Ukon.
25:30Hideyoshi thought it was a pity to let Ukon die in vain.
25:38So, I think there was a possibility that Hideyoshi would return to Daimyo if he changed his mind.
25:45At the same time, Hideyoshi was very interested in the danban trade at that time.
25:53So, Hideyoshi was looking forward to Ukon as a stepping stone.
25:58So, it's hard to understand Hideyoshi's feelings.
26:02But I think there was a possibility that Hideyoshi would cool down a little.
26:07Hideyoshi went on a path of faith even after abandoning the position he had built.
26:12I think it's a noble act.
26:15However, it is possible that Hideyoshi's stubborn attitude may not be understood by the people around him.
26:24In the era of Hideyoshi and Ieyasu, which is different from the era of Nobunaga,
26:29the pressure on Christianity is increasing.
26:32Let's take a look at Ukon's final decision.
26:39In 1588, Ukon, who was welcomed by the Maeda family as a prime minister,
26:45wondered what kind of life he was living.
26:50For a while, there was no war, so it was peaceful.
26:55However, I was careful not to cause any trouble to the Maeda family.
27:06Ukon supported the construction of the Kanazawa Castle, which was a major business of the Maeda family,
27:12and later designed the Echizen-Takaoka Castle, etc.
27:17It is said that he devoted himself to the Maeda family even in the construction of the castle.
27:23On top of that, he built a church that was a witness to Toshiie,
27:27and spread the teachings of God that he believed in.
27:33He believed that one day our troubles would come to an end.
27:40However, the times were heading in a dire direction for Christianity.
27:53After Hideyoshi's death, the Edo Shogunate, founded by Ieyasu,
27:57had a tolerant attitude towards Christianity,
28:01but as the number of forces increased, they became more cautious.
28:07And they issued a ban on destruction and corruption of the church
28:11in the immediate vicinity of Edo, Kyoto, and Sunpu.
28:15They issued a ban on the construction of the Kanazawa Castle.
28:19At the time of Hideyoshi's death, it was a ban on the construction of the Kanazawa Castle.
28:24But now, they have raised the level of the ban on the construction of the Kanazawa Castle.
28:28It would be a nuisance if they built the castle in the name of Christianity.
28:32I think it is because of such social motivation.
28:38The ban on the construction of the Kanazawa Castle
28:40also caused a sense of caution to other castles other than Chokkatsu City.
28:45After Toshiie's death, Maeza Toshinaga, a member of the Kaga clan,
28:49also demanded that the Ukon be abandoned.
28:53However, the Ukon strongly refused.
28:57At this rate, I thought that there would be a significant pressure on Christianity.
29:06But I thought that the Ukon could die at that time.
29:14The Ukon
29:19The relationship between the Tokugawa family and the Toyotomi family, which was once harmonious, deteriorated.
29:24The Shogunate was afraid that the Christian forces would join the Toyotomi family,
29:29and issued a more severe ban on the construction of the Kanazawa Castle.
29:34The Toyotomi family believed that the Takayama Ukon was the leader of Christianity.
29:38If the Takayama Ukon joined the Toyotomi family,
29:42a considerable number of soldiers would join the Toyotomi family.
29:45Therefore, the Ukon was a very important person.
29:54The Shogunate ordered the construction of the Ukon
29:58and made all Christians, not only samurai, the subject of the ban.
30:04The Shogun, Tokugawa Hidetada, also ordered the construction of the Ukon.
30:13The Ukon should be handed over to the Kyoto Shoshidai.
30:19Tokugawa aimed at the abolition of the Ukon,
30:23which would allow the Christian Kyoto to join the Toyotomi family.
30:29The Ukon followed the order of the Shogunate and left Kanazawa.
30:41The Ukon was ordered to go to Nagasaki in Kyoto,
30:45where it was finally disposed of.
30:49Abolish the Ukon!
30:54The Ukon accepted the order without any resistance.
31:01The Ukon was defeated.
31:07The Ukon was the head of the Shogunate until the end.
31:13I think there was a cut.
31:16When I thought about which one to choose at the end,
31:19I decided to take the Ukon.
31:22I didn't hesitate.
31:25If I had any regrets,
31:29I might have thought it would be better to be killed
31:33than to be exiled halfway.
31:371614
31:41The ship that left Nagasaki with the Ukon
31:45headed for Manila, the Philippines.
31:50A month later than planned,
31:53the ship finally arrived in Manila
31:56and was warmly welcomed by the local Spanish nobility.
32:03Since I was being exiled,
32:06I didn't think it was a good thing
32:10to be welcomed so warmly.
32:16The Ukon refused many gifts and good fortune
32:20and lived a quiet life with faith.
32:26However, that life didn't last long.
32:30The Ukon suffered from a fever.
32:37Did the Ukon realize his own death at a young age?
32:41The Ukon told his young grandchild.
32:47Become an exemplary Christian.
32:53There was only one thing about Manila.
32:58A month after arriving in Manila,
33:01the Ukon took a quiet breath.
33:061664
33:08It was a journey surrounded by the love of the people
33:11and watched over.
33:19As a Christian,
33:22the Ukon died in a month.
33:31It was a shame.
33:34Everyone in Manila was a Christian.
33:38The Ukon didn't have such a happy environment.
33:42How did the Ukon see the conflict
33:45between the Tokugawa and the Toyotomi?
33:48The Ukon was a believer.
33:51The Ukon didn't care about the Tokugawa.
33:54However, the Tokugawa had enough
33:57of the Tokugawa in Manila.
34:00However, in Osaka,
34:03many Christians gathered under the
34:06Akashi-Terizumi shrine and
34:09asked for freedom of religion.
34:12Of course, the Tokugawa was persecuted.
34:15The Ukon didn't care about the Tokugawa.
34:19The Ukon asked people to gather in Osaka.
34:22That's true.
34:25The Ukon was aware of the Tokugawa.
34:28However, the Tokugawa didn't
34:31gather in Osaka.
34:34Did the Tokugawa spread the Christian
34:37Buddhism so much that it wanted to
34:40eliminate the Tokugawa completely?
34:43I think they spread it widely.
34:46The Edo Shogunate didn't want to divide the Christian forces into the Tokugawa and the Toyotomi.
34:57That's why they wanted to separate the Christian forces from the Tokugawa.
35:02I think the Tokugawa recognized Ukon as a very dangerous person.
35:09So I think they had a very strong interest in Ukon.
35:14In the end, Ukon was ordered to leave the country.
35:18It seems that Ukon didn't resist.
35:21How did you feel at that time?
35:24I think Ukon's feelings were already established.
35:28It's the same for everyone.
35:30The older you get, the more you can't deny what you believe in.
35:35In other words, you think that the resolution you have believed in will be in vain.
35:40In the case of Ukon, there is a fact that he has lived as a Christian for 50 years.
35:47In that case, I think Ukon has no choice but to believe in God.
35:55Abandoning Christianity here may have been such a big thing that he denied himself.
36:03In the case of Ukon, it's not always the case.
36:07It's true that you have to accept other people's opinions and apologize honestly.
36:14But if you say that, it's not easy to say or do.
36:18It's also true that you can't do that.
36:21He may have had no regrets as a Christian,
36:25but he may have been able to live in Japan for a long time.
36:30I'm sorry to say this, but I feel a little sorry for him.
36:39Finally, let's take a look at the evaluation of the 21st century of Ukon,
36:44who became an overseas Christian and ended his life overseas.
36:51The Catholic Kanazawa Church, where Ukon preached the teachings of God.
37:01In the midst of watching over the international Ukon,
37:04a humble prayer is offered.
37:31In Kanazawa, Mr. Kunori, who has been a priest for many years,
37:36talks about the life of Ukon like this.
37:41As a Japanese, it's hard to find a person who has lived
37:47with Christianity so thoroughly.
37:51I think he's a wonderful person.
38:01Hongyoji Temple in Nanao City, Ishikawa Prefecture.
38:07It is said that Ukon's writings are left there.
38:13In a song recited by a minister in the Nanbokucho era,
38:17he is reciting his own thoughts about leaving the country.
38:22Kaeraji to, kanete omoeba azusayumi,
38:26naki kazu ni iru nao zo todomuru.
38:32Ikite kaeru koto wa nai,
38:34shisha no nakama iri wo suru jibun no nao wo kakinokoshite oku.
38:40Kousei ni nao wo todometakatta Ukon no omoi wa,
38:43ten ni mesarete yonhyaku nen go,
38:46tashikana mono to narimashita.
38:52It is the title of the highest rank of the Catholic Church.
38:56According to the saint, he was listed as a benefactor.
39:03Why did Ukon abandon his status as a minister
39:07and become a believer?
39:12When we were asked to show what we believe in,
39:17we wanted to prove various things.
39:20I think the best way to prove that you believe in something
39:24is to put your life on the line.
39:27Ukon Takayama lived in a world of killing and fighting,
39:33but his conscience did not allow him to do so.
39:43Takayama Ukon lived with the God he believed in,
39:47as if he were on the brink of destruction.
39:51What is the true victory in life?
39:55We asked him these deep questions.
40:04As a member of the Sengoku Dynasty,
40:07you were exiled from Japan.
40:11As a human being,
40:14I think he was the winner.
40:19What do you think, Ito-san?
40:22I think he was the winner as a human being.
40:26But I think he was the loser.
40:29Because he could not spread Christianity to Japan as much as he wanted.
40:36I think that was because he did not have the political power.
40:42If he had spread Christianity on the surface,
40:46and lived in the vicinity of Hideyoshi,
40:49he might have been able to increase Christianity
40:52after he had great power.
40:55And if he had the political power to gather Christian forces,
40:59he might have been able to prevent the battle of Segi.
41:03I think he was not able to stand up and judge the situation.
41:08It is very difficult to have political power.
41:12Of course, everyone decides what to do for the unseen future.
41:17At that time, he wanted to be an experienced Christian.
41:23He had a strong desire to be a Christian.
41:28But he took a step back and said,
41:31I worship you, Lord Hideyoshi.
41:34He kept his faith in his heart.
41:37And he took the opportunity to spread Christianity.
41:41If he had that kind of political power,
41:44he could have spread Christianity to Japan in a different way.
41:48Next is a lesson from the defeat of Takayama Ukon.
41:53Takayama Ukon
41:57Next is a lesson from the defeat of Takayama Ukon.
42:03He was not influenced by his emotions at that time.
42:06He judged everything based on his future.
42:10Ukon did not care about his honor as a Christian.
42:14He stood up and preached.
42:17He preached with faith in his heart.
42:22I think history has changed a lot.
42:26You may think that Ukon is nothing special.
42:31But at that time, the power of Christianity was very strong.
42:35There were a lot of believers.
42:38If Ukon had formed a third power,
42:41the battle of Sekigahara might not have happened.
42:44If Ukon had survived to the Jinma in Osaka,
42:47there was a possibility that Ukon would have won.
42:52Ukon's decision to stand up and preach Christianity
42:55was very important.
42:58Ukon's decision to stand up and preach Christianity
43:01was very important.
43:04If you think that the situation will continue forever,
43:07you will experience a big setback.
43:10I think it is very important for young people
43:13to be aware of the industry and technology that they are familiar with.
43:18I think it is very important to make a decision
43:21based on your future, not your present.
43:24I think it is very important to make a decision based on your future, not your present.
43:31He did not act based on his emotions.
43:34He looked at his future and judged everything based on his future.
43:38If you do that, you can achieve more.
43:41If you do that, you can achieve more.
43:44This is a lesson learned from Ukon's defeat.
43:54There are pros and cons.
43:57There are pros and cons.
44:00There are pros and cons.
44:03I think that's why many people trusted him.
44:06I think that's why many people trusted him.
44:09I don't know which way to choose.
44:12I don't know which way to choose.
44:15It's hard.
44:18I think he lived a beautiful life.
44:21I think he lived a beautiful life.
44:24However, if you think about politics,
44:27I think history has changed.
44:30I think Ukon's influence was great.
44:33I think Ukon's influence was great.
44:36I think Ukon's influence was great.
44:39I would like to see the future of Ukon
44:42I would like to see the future of Ukon
44:45Thank you, Mr. Ito.
44:49This is a lesson learned from his defeat.
44:52See you again.
45:00you
