Esta dissertação propõe-se analisar a inculturação do cristianismo no Japão, segundo a metodologia do Visitador nas Índias Orientais Alessandro Valignano. O Visitador pôs em prática a metodologia da acomodatio na evangelização japonesa como forma de tornar mais acessível o cristianismo, numa cultura tão complexa e longínqua, como era a japonesa. Num momento crucial da história do Japão, em que chegavam ao fim 100 anos de guerra e se iniciava o processo de centralização do poder político e militar que só terminaria no século XVII, Valignano soube entrar na cultura nipónica e oferecer-lhe a sua visão da missão na Ásia. Uma missão tão prometedora, que alcançou mais de 300.000 conversões, acabou, contudo, por ser posta em causa pelas autoridades japonesas. O Japão fechou-se ao exterior, evitando assim a entrada de novos missionários.
The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the enculturation of Christianity in Japan, according to methodology of the Visitor in the Oriental Indies, Alessandro Valignano. The Visitor practiced a certain method called acomodatio in Japanese evangelization as a way making Christianity more accessible, in a rather more distant and complex culture as that of the Japanese. At a crucial moment in the history of Japan, as they approached the end of a 100 years at war, and as the initiation of the process of centralization of political power was on underway and would only come to an end in the 17th century, Valignano knew how to enter into the niponican culture and offer it his vision of mission in Asia. The very promising mission, reaching over 300,000 conversions to Christianity, resulted however, being put at risk by the Japanese authorities. Japan closed itself off exterior wise, therefore avoiding the entrance of new missionaries.
