DESCRIPTION:Poster\nThe century of the Portuguese presence in Japan (c.154
 3-c.1539)\, which coincides with the country’s unification\, defines a f
 ield in which intercultural rivalry\, discussion and exchange can be studi
 ed in detail. The project we present aims at promoting a comprehensive res
 earch on the way Southern Europeans and Japanese confronted each other\, i
 nteracted and mutually experienced religious “otherness” through the s
 tudy of the composite cultural heritage\, mostly created in Japan\, by bot
 h European and Japanese. Through the analysis of sources almost never asso
 ciated – manuscript and printed texts written in both European languages
  and Japanese\, paintings\, engravings\, maps\, ceramics – a new insight
  will be given to this important moment in global cultural history. The ar
 rival of European traders\, mercenaries and well-trained members of religi
 ous orders in East Asia prompted a wave of debate\, studies and controvers
 ies between Buddhist monks and their Western counterparts. At this regard\
 , Jesuits played a major role in this global enterprise and\, contrary to 
 their policies in China\, in Japan started to interact with the composite 
 Buddhist clergies and the political elite. Relations between religions\, s
 trategies of interpretation and accommodation are the main fields in which
  intercultural contacts can be observed.\nEuropean and Asian Interactions:
