Interesting historical find, from Crux:
Japanese museum finds rare scroll from country’s early Christians
"According to Japanese newspaper The Mainichi, an inscription on the scroll reads “1592 years since His Birth,” leading historians to believe that this was the year the scroll was created. Carbon dating has dated the scroll as having been created prior to the year 1633, the museum said in a press conference.
If this dating is accurate, the scroll would be from a period of cruel and violent persecution of Christians in Japan."
“The scroll discovered at the museum is one of few Christian artifacts from Japan, as most were destroyed after the faith was banned in 1612.”
