75.2 Egami Church 江上天主堂- In 1918 the descendants of Goto settlers cooperated to build the church under the direction of Tetsukawa Yosuke. Egami Village on Naru Island is part of the Hidden Christian legacy of migrants from the mainland who continued to practise their faith secretly during the ban on Christianity. Egami Church was built using indigenous techniques and materials and demonstrates the cultural continuity with regards to the period of the ban on Christianity. The Egami Church is considered as the best example in terms of design and structure among the wooden church buildings constructed in the Nagasaki region from the 19th century onwards.
