Footprints of the Martyrs of the Hosokawa Domain@No.11B 
Genya Ogasawara and Miya Kagayama 2
Though times had been hard since Francis Xavier started missionary work
in Japan in 1549, in Kagayama family, at first Hayato Kagayamafs parents
converted to Christianity and their faith was passed down to Hayato, his
son, then Miya, his daughter, and then Miyafs child, and a living faith
spanned four generations. Hayatofs life of faith, which was not threatened
even by death, no doubt had a strong influence on his daughter and her
child.
At the same time Miyafs husband Genya was touched by the spirit of the
faith of his father-in-law Hayato Kagayama and Miya. He also was fired
with Christian zeal. They gave a great impact for him to choose a life
of faith for himself.
