Summary
DescriptionJapanese Tensho Embassy with Pope Gregory XIII 1585.png
English: The Japanese Tenshō embassy with Pope Gregory XIII on March 23, 1585. Pope Gregory XIII sat under the canopy in the center of the screen. The Latin text "Plvra seminaria et collegia condit intra et extra evropam" says Gregory XIII "He founded more seminars and colleges both within and outside of Europe." The artwork was made in the 16th or early 17th century, Pontifical Gregorian University. It was drawn by a Roman painter. The scene is depicted in which the intention of establishment is entrusted to Jesuits. The words "Iaponicum (Japan)" can also be seen in the documents given by the Pope to the kneeling Jesuits. Ito Mancio, leader of the Tenshō embassy and the first official Japanese emissary to Europe (1583-1590), kneels in the artwork. They were sent by the Christian daimyo Ōtomo Sōrin.
