The Hirado’s Island to the southwest of Japan preserves important historical artifacts that testify the ancient dialogue between East and West began in the second half of the sixteenth century. These early contacts are evidence of an important feedback of the anti-Christian policy implemented in the late sixteenth century and active throughout the Edo period until 1867 with the return of Emperor Meiji.

Abstract
The Hirado’s Island to the southwest of Japan preserves important historical artifacts that testify the ancient dialogue between East and West began in the second half of the sixteenth century. These early contacts are evidence of an important feedback of the anti-Christian policy implemented in the late sixteenth century and active throughout the Edo period until 1867 with the return of Emperor Meiji. The authors of this paper are intended to describe and illustrate this important historical value stored at Hirado with the aim of giving greater prestige to the cultural landscape, its traditions and vocations of the place for a sustainable tourism, even in relation to the nomination of World Heritage of Humanity.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
