In the 16th century, ships from Europe arrived on Japan’s shores—bringing more than just trade. Alongside goods and weapons came a new religion, new ideas, and a new kind of influence. In this episode , we explore the arrival of missionaries like Francis Xavier and the rapid spread of Christianity across feudal Japan. But as faith grew, so did fear. Was this a peaceful exchange… or the beginning of a deeper struggle for control? Discover how religion, politics, and power collided—and changed Japan forever.
