Footprints of the Martyrs of the Hosokawa Domain@No.12A 
Genya Ogasawara and Miya Kagayama 3
In this way, both Genya and Miya loved Jesus Christ all their lives, professed
their faith in God, and were not ashamed of the gospel.
In 1614, following Tokugawa Ieyasu's edicts proscribing Christianity, Hosokawa
Tadaoki banished all missionaries from his lands, ordered to destroy churches
and chapels, and began to put severe pressure on the Christian vassals
in his territories to renounce their faith.
At the same time, out of gratitude to Shosai, who had looked after his
wife Gracia until her death, Tadaoki treated Shosaifs sons very well,
granting the eldest son, Nagatomo 6,000 koku and the second son, Nagara,
600 koku. He also married the daughters of his relatives to Shosai's three
sons and treated them like his own family. However, it was a thorn
in his side that Genya, Shosai's third son, and his wife should believe
in the forbidden religion and continue to profess their faith.
