Summary
[edit]DescriptionAmakusa Shiro Battle Flag in Shimabara Rebellion.png |
English: The Amakusa Kirishitan Memorial Hall's "Amakusa Shiro Battle Flag" is said to have been used by Amakusa Shiro during the Amakusa-Shimabara Rebellion in 1637. It is an important cultural property of Japan and is said to be one of the world's three major holy flags along with the Western European crusader flag and the Joan of Arc flag. The flag bears marks of blood and arrows from battle, and in the center of the flag is a chalice filled with wine, above which is a large cross in the Eucharist Bread, representing Christ. The cross has a dry shape, and in the upper horizontal part of it is written the initials "INRI", which means "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews". Two angels are flanking them. At the top of the flag is an inscription in old Portuguese: "LOVVADo SEIA O SĀCTISSIMo SACRAMENTO" which means "Praise the Most Precious Sacrament of the Eucharist." There is no Japanese written, but the author is said to be the work of Yamada Emosaku (山田右衛門作, c.1598-
1657), who fought alongside Shiro Amakusa and was the only survivor.
日本語: 天草切支丹記念館所蔵の「天草四郎陣中旗」は、1637年の天草・島原の乱で天草四郎が使用したとされています。国の重要文化財であり、西ヨーロッパの十字軍旗、ジャンヌ・ダルクの旗とともに世界三大聖旗とも言われています。旗には戦でついた血痕や矢弾の跡が残り、旗の中央部にはワインを盛った聖杯、その上にキリストを意味する聖体のパンの中に十字架が大きく描かれています。その十字架は干型をしており、この上横一のなかに、「ユダヤ人の王ナザレのイエス」という意味の頭文字「INRI」が記されています。それらの両脇には天使二人が合掌しています。また旗の上部には、古いポルトガル語で「いとも尊き聖体の秘蹟ほめ尊まれ給え」と記されています。日本語は一切書かれていませんが、作者は天草四郎と共に戦い、ただ一人生き残った山田右衛門作(やまだ えもさく)とされています。 |
