Hanare Kirishitan
Hanare Kirishitans are Christians who, after the Roman Catholic Church was allowed back into Japan in the 1800's during the Meiji Restoration, did not rejoin the church and continued to practice their "hidden" version of Christianity. The Hanare Kirishitans have their roots in the Kakure Kirishitan's who were Christians that continued to practice Christianity during the 1600's and 1700's.
