- Summary:
- The Japan of shoguns and samurai, discovered by the Portugese in 1540, soon appeared to be swept away by a wave of Westernization. This program presents a portrait of the regent Hideyoshi, illustrating his lifestyle, his taste, and his abrupt shift in direction : Christian priests and converts were persecuted and martyred and, in 1650, Japan shut tight its doors to the outside.
