Year of death?
Admittedly, I know no Japanese, but the Japanese article seems to say that he died in 1641, not 1638. Anyone have any sources one way or the other?--Prosfilaes (talk) 05:12, 23 March 2010 (UTC)


 * As does Daijirin. Given a few days I can probably dig out a few other references. Bendono (talk) 10:15, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I checked a few more resources. Details:
 * Daijirin: c. 1589-1641
 * Nihon Kokugo Daijiten: c. 1589-1641
 * Daijisen: ?-1638
 * Britannica (Japanese): ?-1638
 * Nihonshi Daijiten: c. 1589-1641
 * The majority say 1641, but it is not conclusive. Bendono (talk) 12:35, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Gage
Gage clearly had a ax to grind, is he the best source to quote- he never even visited Japan??


 * About what? The article says "His account of what he saw in Japan was cited by Thomas Gage, a former Dominican friar turned Protestant, as evidence of Jesuit malpractice and the conflict between Dominicans and Jesuits." That seems clearly factual. We aren't claiming anything about Jesuits or Dominicans or malpractice; we're claiming that his account was cited by Thomas Gage in service of Gage's argument to that effect.--Prosfilaes (talk) 18:06, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
