Luis Frois's Journey


 Unfortunately, the picture is not that good, but I will still give the information you need to understand Luis Frois's journey to Japan.  The map comes from the recent reviewed book Senkyo Zukai Nobunaga Senki (p. 77).

1) Frois arrives in Japan in 1563 at Hizen Province.

2) Frois moves to Takushima.

3) Arrives in Kyoto in 1564, but had no luck to promote Christianity.  Flees to Sakai.

4) 1568 he meets with Wada Koremasa in Sakai.

5) In 1569, with the help of Wada Koremasa, Frois finally meets with Nobunaga.  Nobunaga grants Frois to promote the Christian faith.

Tenka no tame!
