In 1829, six people were paraded through Osaka and crucified as devotees of the “pernicious creed” of Christianity. Christian Sorcerers on Trial offers annotated translations of a range of sources on this sensational event. It provides students and scholars alike with an extraordinarily rich picture of late Edo society.
