また日記には「今年は当西方で毎夜赤気が立つ」とある。

また東山の桜花が咲き、ひとえに春かと諸人が天地の災変があるであろうと沙汰するところ、果たしてその頃島原庄に隠居していた切支丹の張本人、大矢野松右衛門、千束善右衛門、大江孫右衛門、山善右衛門、森宗意の五人の百姓は、元来天草島の内の大矢野千束村の者共である。先年島原へ来て深江村々に今居住し、密かに宗旨を弘め、多年改宗の者を勧め諸人に申し聞かせていた。この者達について言えば、二十五年以前、天草上津浦に居住していた南蛮人シャビエルという伴天連が、御仕置きにより南蛮へ送り返されるとき、伝法のため一紙の末鑑を書き置いた。その内に「当年から二十五年目に当たって我が

As a form of consolation, the executive Ōi-no-taifu Sanuki-no-kami, along with the junior councilors Hotta Kaga-no-kami, Matsudaira Izu-no-kami, Abe Bungo-no-kami, Sakai Bingo-no-kami, Doi Tōtōmi-no-kami, Ōta Bitchū-no-kami, Miura Shima-no-kami, and others organized dance performances for the shogun's viewing. The lords of Owari, Kii, and Mito presented dances, and Matsudaira Hizen-no-kami Toshitsune also offered dances. Throughout Edo, people high and low enjoyed dancing.

Also recorded: "This year, red atmospheric phenomena appear nightly in the western direction."

the cherry blossoms of Higashiyama bloomed as if it were purely spring, and people discussed that there would surely be natural disasters." Indeed, around that time, the Christian ringleaders who had retired to Shimabara estate - five peasants named Ōyano Matsuemon, Chizuka Zen'emon, Ōe Magoemon, Yama Zen'emon [possibly Saemon], and Mori Sōi - were originally from Ōyano Chizuka village within Amakusa Island. In previous years, they had come to Shimabara and were now residing in Fukae villages, secretly spreading their faith and for many years encouraging people to convert and preaching to the populace. Concerning these men, twenty-five years previously, when a Southern Barbarian priest called Xavier who resided in Kamitsura of Amakusa was sent back to the Southern Barbarian lands as punishment, he left behind a written prophecy for transmitting his teachings. In it was written: "Twenty-five years from this year, my
