Japan was isolated from the rest of the world, especially Western countries, in the late Middle Ages. The Jesus societies sent missionaries to Japan to enlighten Japanese people by spreading the Catholic doctrine. They gave the Japanese their first experience in encountering Western people, who have white skin, brown hair, and blue eyes, and Black slaves with black skin. The conqueror of Japan, Shogun Oda Nobunaga, was very surprised at the black skin of the black slave who accompanied missionaries in his castle, and did not believe that the Negro had black skin naturally. He was confident that someone had painted the skin with black ink. In the Azuchi-Momoyama (1573-1600) era, only foreign traders saw foreign men and women. Even the children, like the adults, looked down on foreign missionaries. They often attacked the missionaries by throwing stones because the missionaries wore long black clothes and seemed to be strange and poor. The primary reason for the attacks, however, was their opposition to the Japanese Buddhism that was widely spread among the Japanese people. At the same time, however, all the Japanese people respected and looked upon the European missionaries, in particular the Portuguese, who made a gorgeous parade to meet the Japanese ruler, Shogun Toyotomi Hideyoshi, in Kyoto in 1590. People had never seen such a glorious and sovereign line of people as that of the Western people (Portuguese). We concluded that Japanese people didn't have any ethnic stereotypes toward the Europeans and the Blacks, but had ambivalent views of both of them as the Japanese were caught between envy of the Portuguese missionaries and other Western people and contempt for them in the 15th and 16th centuries., text, application/pdf}, pages = {65--84}, title = {西洋人と黒人に対する日本人の人種ステレオタイプの形成に関わる心理—歴史的背景 : イエズス会宣教師の書簡・報告を中心にした分析}, volume = {51}, year = {2002}, yomi = {バンザイ, トモヒデ} }
