Life of Saint Nicolas of Japan (1836 -1912).
St. Nicholas is recognized as a model missionary because he fully immersed himself in Japanese life and learned the language, religion, customs, and culture of Japan in his effort to get close to the people. He also translated many scriptural, liturgical, and theological texts into Japanese. His memory is celebrated on February 3 or February 16 (old calendar).

I was stationed in Japan for most of my military career, and took up Japanese martial arts for over 30 years. I learned to speak Japanese fluently, as well as read and write with some proficiency. All Japanese martial arts have an element of religion in them. There is always a kamiza or kamidana, where the “god” of the dojo (school) resides. You have to bow to this deity at the start and finish of practice. In aikido, they deify Ueshiba Morihei, the founder of aikido. So, if you are an Orthodox Christian, please think about this. I no longer practice as I used to. And I no longer bow to false deities.

St. Nicholas of Japan, saint of Christ, continue to pray that Japan becomes an Orthodox country, and pray for us, amen.

I feel blessed to have the Kyoto Orthodox Church (consecrated by St Nikolai in 1903) so close to my home, only discovered orthodoxy recently by God’s good grace, but the liturgy was totally different to what I thought church was, absolutely mind/spirit blowing, thank you for all your work St Nikolai, the creators of this video, and our Lord Jesus Christ, Lord have mercy on us sinners!

Glory to God! I am amazed at what he did in the Japan of that era. Only a saint could.

What a beautiful story! The story of christianity in Japan isn't often discussed, so this is a fantastic opportunity to learn more about it.

Bro. Nicolas gave his life to bring the Japanese people to Christ and build them up in the faith!

Really fascinating life. I admit I never knew that Orthodox missionaries were evangelizing in Japan. I have heard about Jesuit missionaries like St Francis Xavier.
