		ON MAY 13TH THIS YEAR a museum to commemorate the Japanese novelist Shusaku Endo was opened in Sotome Town, Nagasaki Prefecture, on a beautiful hill (famous for its sunset views) overlooking the East China Sea.
		This was the second strong pillar in Endo's monumental fiction, complementing the classic, searing novel, Silence, which starkly described the efforts of the missionaries in the 17th century to convert Japan to Christianity.
		Endo had instructed his companion-interpreter to discover the identity of the tall man with blue eyes who had just shared the lift with them.

		Endo concentrates on the "ineffectual" image of the person of Jesus as symbolized in the Japanese notion of the fumie A fumie is a figure representing Jesus (or Mary, the mother of Jesus), mounted on a piece of wood or a copper plate.
		Endo sees Jesus' short span of life in terms of the contrast between his thoroughgoing identification with those who are weak, frail, and rejected and his disciples' attempt to project their own images and expectations upon him.
		Endo's Cbristology appeals to the contemporary Japanese because of the depiction of Jesus as participating fully in the human condition of vulnerability.

	Silence
		Shusaku Endo was one of Japan's great 20th century authors, and like Walker Percy and Graham Greene, he is a Catholic who spent a good portion of his literary life writing about his faith and his struggle with it.
		Endo's "silence" is the silence of God in the face of these awful events.
		Endo is working out his doubts and confusion (in addition to this question of silence, for instance, he is very concerned with whether Catholicism can even work in the "swamp of Japan").

	Guardian Unlimited Books \| Review \| Confessions of a true believer
		Shusaku Endo was born in Tokyo in 1923.
		Endo's "moral weaklings" continually restage the problematic encounter between Japanese and western understandings of self and God, an encounter which, as Endo's work develops, comes to be increasingly characterised by an ongoing interrogation of the word "betrayal".
		By the time Endo reached the second half of his career it was clear that the defining theme of his oeuvre was the yawning chasm between the internal contradictions and pressures of Japanese life on the one hand, and the world of Christianity and Europe on the other.

	EndoJesus
		Shusaku Endo in 1973 wrote A Life of Jesus, in which he intended "to make Jesus understandable in terms of the religious psychology of my non-Christian countrymen and thus to demonstrate that Jesus is not alien to their religious sensibilities" (1).
		Endo says, for instance, that we are more drawn to the "consolation" stories of the Gospel because they show us the great compassion that Jesus has on those who suffer, such as the women who wash Jesus' feet.
		For Endo, one of the burdens that Jesus had to bear was that others wanted him to further their political and economic dreams, even his disciples.

	Commonweal: The god of silence: Shusaku Endo's reading of the Passion - critique of the Japanese novel 'Silence'
		Endo was seared by the terrible homelessness of being a Christian in Japan, and most commentary on his work focuses on the awkward encounter of Christianity and Japanese culture.
		Endo's work can be read as a profound exploration of the twisted logic of the Incarnation - the journey of God from heaven to be emptied into earthly flesh and the assumption of weakness by omnipotence.
		Endo's personal struggle as a Christian in Japan was the setting for his investigation of the paradox central to the lives of all Christians: the paradox of a crucified God.

		Endo was, after all, a Japanese national (albeit raised in occupied Chinese Manchuria) who identified with the Catholic tradition through baptism at the age of twelve (albeit, by his own admission, more under duress from his devout mother than from any deeply held conviction) and who devoted his entire adult life...

	BrothersJudd.com - Review of Shusaku Endo's The Samurai
		Shusaku Endo was one of the great Japanese novelists, known for his Christian-themed fictions.
		Although Shusaku Endo does have Hasekura meet a martyr's end, at the core of the book is the samurai's struggle against Christianity itself.
		Endo's Hasekura is very much tied to his family's marshland home in Kurokawa, where he has always worked in the fields with the peasants.

	Review of Deep River (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Endo, perhaps the most famous of Japanese Christian novelists, continues the core theme of Silence in his Deep River: the Christian God is a God of Mystery who will not be boxed in by familiar doctrinal concepts, nor will God be tied down to the 2,000 year old revelations of Christian Scripture.
		Endo's implication, that all the great world religions are entry-points into a loving, servant-God that transcends them all, may never catch on, primarily because people everywhere like to believe that their particular religious dogma and practice is right and that others must be wrong.
		Endo is a master storyteller who, quite likely, speaks out of an inner life that has come to some peace with the apparent contradictions between Christianity and other faiths and cultures.

		Endo's story is for the reader a poignant reminder of men's inability to bridge the deep cultural fissures we create for ourselves as well as a reminder of God's ability to do just that in the suffering figure who bore the cross.
