picture info	Fumie Tsune A was a likeness of Jesus or Mary onto which the religious authorities of the Tokugawa shogunate of Japan required suspected Christians (Kirishitan) to step, in order to demonstrate that they were not members of the outlawed religion, otherwise they would be tortured or killed. History The use of ''fumi-e'' began with the persecution of Christians in Nagasaki in 1629. Inhabitants of Nagasaki, whether a commoner, Buddhist monk or samurai, all were required to tread on the icons which were brought house to house. Their use was officially abandoned when ports opened to foreigners on 13 April 1856, but some remained in use until Christian teaching was placed under formal protection during the Meiji period. The objects were also known as ''e-ita'' or ''ita-e'', while the forced test was called ''e-fumi''. The Japanese government used ''fumi-e'' to reveal practicing Christians and sympathizers. ''Fumi-e'' were pictures of the Virgin Mary and Jesus. Government officials made sus ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
