Abstract

This paper explores the long distance administrative system of the Jesuit Order which existed between Rome and the Japans during the Order’s missionary activities, between 1549 and 1630. The understanding of the Mission’s link to Rome helps re-contextualizing the Japanese Mission’s role in the Order’s overseas presence, and the guiding principles along which the Jesuit communication lines were organized. The Mission also served as the first cultural link between Europe and Japan mainly through the written texts and documents sent back to Europe, and so the examination of how, and what the Jesuits communicated about Japan to Europe, deepens our understanding of sixteenth-century European worldview and system of international relations.
