昨日、天草四郎は秀吉の孫か！、フィリピンにて王朝建国？との番組をテレビでやってました。
Yesterday, I saw TV program titled, " Does Shirou Amakusa a grandchild of Hideyoshi ? Did he build a dynasty in Philippine ?".
つまり、豊臣秀吉の子供の豊臣秀頼の子供が天草四郎だったと！面白いので、見てしまいました。天草四郎は殺されたのでなく、フィリピンに渡ったと。そこで豊臣家の再興を図ったとか。突拍子もない話ですが。当時日本はキリシタン迫害で、多くの日本人がフィリピンに送られ、その当時マニラのサンミゲールという町に13,000人の日本人が住んでいたらしい。
In other words, Shirou Amakusa is son of Hideyori Toyotomi who is son of Hideyoshi Toyotomi. It was so much interesting and I saw it. It says that Shirou Amakusa was not killed but went to Philippine and he tryed to re-construct Toyotomi dynasty,though it is unexpected story. At that time in Japan, the Christian was persecuted and many Japanese Christian were sent to Philippine. It is said that at the time in San Miguel, 13,000 members of Japnese were living.
高山右近というキリスト大名が、フィリピンに追放され、彼が日本人町を作ったと。しかしながら調べると、高山右近はフィリピンで絶大なる支援を受け歓迎されたが、当時の長旅の為、1ヵ月後に命を落としたといわれています。それにしてもフィリピンと日本との繋がりがこんなにあったとは驚きです。
Christian federal lord , named Ukon Takayama was expelled and sent to Philippine and he constructed Japanese town in Manila. However according to my investigation, Ukon Takayama was accepted in Manila with great support but died due to long journey from Japan after one months from his arrival at Manila. It is indeed my big surprise that there were such relationship between Japan and Philippine at that time.
