They were just a bit too far away for the cat to reach. Jumping in probably would not have ended well for the cat! #Shimabara #Unzen #Nagasaki #Kyushu #Japan

As the Bakufu continued to persecute Christianity, and certain daimyo continued taxing their subjects at punitive rates, a rebellion broke out in Kyushu in 1637 which would prove to be the end of any remaining tolerance the Shogunate had for foreign elements in Japan.
