Early Missionaries in Japan 6 Soldo Organtino: The Architect of the Japanese Mission
Abstract
Unquestionably the most popular of the early Jesuit missionaries in Japan was Father Organtino (1533-1609). Gifted, endowed with a pleasing personality and knowing the language and customs of Japan better than most, he won the affection of the people he dealt with to an unusual degree. During the more than three decades he spent as a missionary in the Kyoto area he also carried out the policy of adaptation which he had inherited from Vilela and Frois to its greatest degree of perfection. He was on terms of familiarity with all the great ones of his day in Japan and his memory survived among the people long after the missions had been destroyed.

(Title: Deus Versus Ohirume in Kamigami No Bishou: Cultural Clash Between West and Japan) The Kamigami no Bishou short story is one of the most famous Japanese literary works, Akutagawa Ryuunosuke. Kamigami no Bishou was created by Akutagawa in 1922 which tells the meeting of Organtino, a Christian missionary in Japan with an old man who was the embodiment of one of Japan's ancient gods. The purpose of this article is to reveal how the clash of cultures between the West and Japan was reconstructed in Kamigami no Bishou short stories. To achieve this goal, the following steps are taken. First, an explanation of the terms contained in the Kamigami no Bishou Short Story. Second, explained the actions of two figures in the short story that are in opposition to the Greimas model's official scheme because this scheme can make it easier to understand the actions and motivations of the characters. Third, the analysis of one of the short story structural elements is a theme with the aim of understanding the essence and purpose of the entire short story. Fourth, further explanation about the reconstruction of Western versus Japanese cultural clash which is explained by the presentation of binary opposition. After going through all four stages, it was concluded that the reconstruction of cultural clash in Kamigami no Bishou short stories was presented by Akutagawa in a conversation between the Organtino character and the old male character. Through a dialogue centered on Deus versus Ohirume carried out by Organtino figures and old male figures, Akutagawa indirectly wanted to convey the message that Japanese tradition and culture would not be destroyed due to influences from foreign cultures that entered.
