When Christianity was propagated in the Saga Domain, the Nabeshima clan, instead of the Jesuits who protected the raw silk rights, cooperated with the Dominican Order, which included Thomas Aquinas of the *Summa Theologica* and religious inquisitors, recognizing the seriousness of children, and also the attitude shown in the process of rising from Ryuzoji clan's senior vassals to the Saga Domain lord, such as the development of Arita porcelain and the aspiration for "benevolent rule" for the people, and finding a secret influence on the koto piece "Rokudan," the Credo chanted at the time of martyrdom. It is insightfully examined in relation to the Saga Domain Bushido ideology symbolized by "Hagakure" (The Book of the Samurai).
