Description
Nederlands: De ‘e-fumi’ ceremonie, kan worden vertaald als ‘het trappen op het kruis’. Iemand moet hierbij trappen op een fumi-e (letterlijk: trapprent), een voorwerp met daarop een afbeelding van bijvoorbeeld Christus of Maria. Het is voor de Japanse autoriteiten een manier om Christenen te kunnen identificeren. Zij redeneren dat een Christen niet op een afbeelding zal willen trappen van een heilig persoon. De Japanners doen er alles aan om het christendom buiten hun grenzen te houden en de Nederlanders op Deshima moeten daarom eens per jaar deze ceremonie doorlopen om hun ‘onschuld’ te tonen. De Nederlanders zijn weliswaar overwegend protestant maar vinden in dit geval handelsbelangen belangrijker dan geloofsopvattingen.
English: The ‘e-fumi’ ceremony can be described as ‘trampling the cross’: a person was forced to trample an e-fumi (literally: stepping on picture), an object depicting, for instance, Christ or Mary. For the Japanese authorities it was a way of identifying Christians: they reasoned that Christians would not want to trample the picture of a holy person. The Japanese did everything in their power to keep Christianity out of their country and the Dutch on Deshima had to take part in this ceremony once a year in order to prove their ‘innocence’. Though the Dutch were mainly Protestants in this case they considered business interests to be more important than religious convictions.
