Summary: The Jesuits arrived in Japan in 1549 and until their expulsion were very active, converting people to Christianity, building churches, schools, and hospitals. The Jesuits relied on the local lords’ financial support to build and often received Buddhist temples to be converted into churches. Based on a review of Jesuit letters, a brief analysis of Japanese Buddhist temple floor plan characteristics, a short review of Jesuit church architecture in general and in Japan I will illustrate how a Buddhist temple floor plan may have looked like when converted into a Jesuit church.

Para manter a missão no Japão, os missionários jesuítas dependiam do apoio financeiro dos senhores locais e, muitas vezes, foram-lhes concedidos templos budistas para servirem como igrejas. Com base na correspondência jesuíta da época, uma breve análise da arquitectura budista no Japão e das características da arquitectura eclesial jesuíta no mundo e no Japão permite-nos inferir a possível forma da planta de um templo budista convertido em igreja.CHAM2016-12-01info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.57759/aham2016.36111https://doi.org/10.57759/aham2016.36111Anais de História de Além-Mar; Vol. 17 (2016); 245-270Anais de História de Além-Mar; Vol. 17 (2016); 245-2702795-44550874-9671reponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAPenghttps://revistas.rcaap.pt/aham/article/view/36111https://revistas.rcaap.pt/aham/article/view/36111/25373Direitos de Autor (c) 2016 Adriana Piccinini Higashinoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessHigashino, Adriana Piccinini2024-09-28T10:25:54Zoai:ojs.revistas.rcaap.pt:article/36111Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T18:37:59.142257Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
