Christ the Bridegroom will not abandon his Bride the Church

He arrived with 60 monks, in Ireland they lived in separate bee hive type huts...so they were divided up to form Monasteries. In Japan, they would have divided up in 12 Monks per Monastery. The reason for this is that later, centuries later, Zen Buddhism Monasteries were re-organized into a hierarchical system what is called ¨FIVE MOUNTAINS¨ Intimists¨- Collins World History Atlas page 114

 Thus, St. Brendan chose 5 mountains on which to build Monasteries. ie AKITA. He named one after his mentor and guide, St. ITA- AK_ITA...(indeed today Sr. Agnes of Akita should ring a bell) she had received messages from Our Lady..https://www.ewtn.com/catholicism/library/message-from-our-lady--akita-japan-5167)
Circumstantial evidence, how about a bronze statue made cerca 600ad called TRINITY! the full name is ¨Shaka Trinity¨
https://www.onmarkproductions.com/html/asuka-art.html

Names of places in Japan known for its spiritual... such as Taira is like the holy hill of Tara in Ireland, Henian is very Irish, and Horyiuji- Hori- is Irish to the core.

Correction: the Fresco attributed to the Templars is incorrect, the date of the fresco is 600ad not 1200ad-
This fresco is in the famous Temple of Horyuji...imo, that Horyuji was actually one of the Monasteries begun by St. Brendan!

As with the 12th century in Japan, there was a Spiritual Renaissance that overlapped into cultural, artistic, and even political spheres. 

Poetry competition began around this time. Music, writing, art, all flourished.

Hypothesis #2:

Saint Brendan famous Voyage to the ¨Isles of the Blessed¨ was JAPAN!

Cerca 550ad, according to legend St. Brendan traveled with 60 monks to find the ¨Islands of the Blessed¨
well he did find it and set up Missionary activity in Japan. https://www.celtic-irish.co.uk/resources/art-and-culture/the-voyage-of-saint-brendan/
'The Promised Land of the Saints'

St. Brendan´s mentor was Saint Ita, who was a Nun gifted with miracles and the gift of Prophecy. It was undoubtedly she who urged to go to Japan and to bring some young colts (horses) because Japan did not have Horses until 560ad. That was his in card to Japan.
Micropedia, Great Civilizations by Brenda Lewis, ¨Horses were introduced in Japan in 560ad¨ The Celts adored horses and were great horse trainers.

Greenland was once green, the North Artic was once free of ice, they traveled above Canada down through to Japan. ¨Sea levels were lower¨ said author, Vincent Gaddis.

page 84, Collins World History Atlas- ¨...at the end of the 6th century ad, ...Japan passed from a protohistory (backwards or rudimentary) to a high degree of civilization¨

Politically, in 600ad Japan adopted a Constitutional style on the Confucius ethics¨...huge shift and transformation of the Emperors Court and administration ¨with the objective Reforms based on Moral Buddhism¨

This was due to ¨Re-organize resulted from RELIGIOUS REVIVAL and multiplication of Sects that brought about Spiritual men ...NEVER BEFORE DID JAPAN KNOW A PERIOD RICH OM RELIGIOUS FERVOR ...this enthusiasm lasted to 1000ad¨- Engimas, Volume II, page 200 to page 201
 https://www.abebooks.co.uk/book-search/title/civilizaciones-desaparecidas/used/

Unfortunately, there appears that the Rise, Fall and Purge of Christianity in Japan was repeated over and over in 6ooad and 1200ad and later with the Jesuits, they just dont want to admit it.  Bottom line, Japan has more ties with the West than with China, imo.

7.5 foot long ancient sword found in Nara, Japan

Hypothesis; KNIGHT TEMPLAR SWORD
The 7.5 foot high buried sword is actually part of a statue dedicated to the Knights Templar (14 feet high or more)
The Knights Templar are the founders of the Shinto Religion and  samurái class.

3 sources:

In another thread, previously posted how the Japanese beat back an invasion of a Chinese-Korean naval combo.
The final victory on the shores of Japan beach took place on the Feastday of the Blessed Mother which was most curious. Now it begins to make sense, the Japanese had help from the Templars.

https://www.worldhistory.org/article/1415/the-mongol-invasions-of-japan-1274--1281-ce/

¨The samurai did have certain advantages over the enemy as they wore iron-plate and leather armour (only the Mongol heavy cavalry wore armour) and their long sharp swords were used much more effectively than the Mongol short sword.¨

It was the Templars that helped them forge the Iron swords in 1200s. Prior to this they were bronze and short swords until the Templars came. Moreover, the Templars taught them horse riding with weapons and bows.

August 14th a Typhoon hit the Mongol-Korean ships and on August 15th, the Assumption of Our Lady, the ships that survived sailed back to China. Victory!
¨The storm winds that either sunk or blew the Mongol ships safely away from Japanese shores were given the name kamikaze or 'divine winds.' as they were seen as a response to the Japanese appeal to Hachiman, the Shinto god of war, to send help to protect the country against a vastly numerically superior enemy.¨

Out of reverence and honor the Japanese made that Knight Templar statue with the 7.5 foot sword!

From the book, Enigmas, Vol II.

The Japanese goddess, Susanno emerged out of a MIRROR to slay the dragon with 7 heads. Next to the 7 foot sword is a Shield with a Mirror ... examine the photo the mirror is still in good shape on the Templar shield. The Goddess cuts the heads off the dragon.


page 220-....¨como attributos de su realeza, la diosa le entrego el espejo donde ella se miro al salir de la gruta la espada con que Susanoo mato al dragon de siete cabezas.¨

Thus the Templars prodigious hearken to the past while pointing to the near future. They knew.

The statue is evidently General Yorimoto, the Knight Templar, examine the photo- note the similarity with the Templar red and white Cross!
https://www.gettyimages.es/detail/fotografía-de-noticias/minamoto-yorimoto-japanese-warrior-and-founder-fotografía-de-noticias/464784997?adppopup=true

Of course, they purged all things about the Templars who were either exiled or left Japan once their supporters fell out of power- minimoto clan.

Greenland was once green, the North Artic was once free of ice, they traveled above Canada down through to Japan. ¨Sea levels were lower¨ said author, Vincent Gaddis.

St. Brendan founded a Monastery in Clonfert, Ireland cerca 557ad. Thus, sometime afterwards he traveled to Japan with the 60 monks. At laeast by 560ad he brought horses (he could have just traded for some in Korea, whatever). https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/02758c.htm

He founded the first Monastery in Japan in Horyuji, in Nara https://www.japan-guide.com/e/e4104.html
This was initially a Church which later became the primary Shinto Temple of Japan.

Horyuji was called Hormisdas, named after Pope Hormisdas, he had died just 25 years previously. Note that the Prefix, ¨Hor¨ is not Japanese... perhaps named after Horgan, or Horrigan, no, he named that place after Pope ¨Hormisdas¨- in honor of the late Pope. ... and later the Japanese called it Hory-uji.

https://popehistory.com/popes/pope-st-hormisdas/

Somewhere in the Japanese archives is a old document stating some boats came from the West (hiberia)and brought Horses, etc... this was St. Brendan and the 60 monks. St. Brendan divided them up into 12 monks per Monastery (normal for Carmelite convents) onto of 5 mountains- Taira, Nara (Hormisdas), Ak-ITA (named after St. Ita), Henian, and one other ?.

St. Brendan Timeline: Incredible voyage to Japan.

486ad Birth of St. Brendan

557ad After founding several Abbeys he founds Clonfert Monastery and writes Rule of Life

557-560ad St. Brendan´s voyage with 60 monks to Japan (the English Companion to Literature remarks the ¨Islands
of the Blessed¨ that he traveled to was Scotland...must be a Scot who wrote that) He divides the 60 monks to 12 monks per Monastery- the Five Monasteries are founded. Teaches the Japanese horse training and rearing.

560ad Horses are introduced to Japan

570 ad St. Ita death, the Visionary, miracle worker, prophecy... the one to told St. Brendan to seek the ¨Islands of the Blessed¨

Concrete evidence of the Celtic Monks... undoubtedly some Celtic Crosses in Japan are buried and waiting to be found...
Fabrication of paper takes place in Japan first time.

578 ad St. Brendan dies in Clonfert, Ireland (thus he must have returned to Ireland

578- 600 ad Persecution of Christians, Monks and Japanese converts.
587 ad ¨Sacred battle took place¨ -Engimas, page 200, with the triumph of Buddhism.¨

600 ad Japan adopts a new Constitution styled on ¨Confusius ethics¨

604 ad Japan enacts a new Code of 27 articles inspired by ¨Zen¨ (read: Monks and St. Brendan)
¨Huge shift in politico transformation with objective reforms based on Moral Buddhism¨- Engimas. Thus, the Spiritual growth went hand in hand with Political reforms.
¨Engimas¨ book is a must for those who wish to persue this theory, series of lectures ... on Japan- impact on Music, Art, Literature, writing (Paper came to Japan at this time and writing skills)

Did the Knights Templar 550 years later know of St. Brendan´s voyage and the 5 Monasteries? Yes, no doubt.

[Guapo]

Did St. Brendan name one of the 5 Monasteries after Pope Agapetus I?

Pope Agapetus I, elected on May 13th, 535

https://www.britannica.com/biography/Saint-Agapetus-I

https://www.catholicity.com/encyclopedia/a/agapetus_i,pope_saint.html

Like Pope Hormidas he fought the heresy of Monotheism. Famous reply to Emperor Justinian
¨Agapetus replied with spirit: "With eager longing have I come to gaze upon the Most Christian Emperor Justinian. In his place I find a Diocletian, whose threats, however, terrify me not." This intrepid language made Justinian pause¨

He absolutely refused laymen to preach and refused to raise Arian pentitents to the clerical offices.

Like Pope Hormidas, it is possible that N- AGASA-ki is named after AGAPetus, it is a bit of a stretch, but if so, it reveals that the Irish Church was well aware of the Heresies of ie. Monosthesism (Pope Agapetus anathematized Monothesists heretics).

N-AGASA-ki- would be the 5th site of the 5 Irish Monasteries founded by St. Brendan in Japan? Perhaps somewhere else in Japan with a name similiar to Agapetus, ie Y-amagata...

[Guapo]

In the famous Shrine sanctuary of Horyuji (named after Pope Hormidas), the Trinity statue was made cerca 600ad by ¨Tori Bushi¨  Tori sounds alot like Terry- in Gaelic it would sound like, : "tur + la" or spelling, Turlough--- Tori according to Engimas de las Civilizaciones Desaparecidas- was a ¨Chinese emigrant¨ in other words, a foreigner, ie Irish Monk.page 226- had quite a ¨notable personality...created series of statues ¨dicho santuarioi destacan la armonia de la pliegues de las vestiduras y la intensidad hieratica de los rostros, ...ie Trinidad (Trinity) en bronze, created in 623ad¨ (earlier, imo)
Bushi is a fake name, means warrior or knight.

page 227- the Horyuji Temple the most ancient in Japan, unique for Asia, made entirely out of wood... is resplendent for its colors! Think Book of Kells- the Irish Monks were jack of all trades some studied like St. Patrick in France....¨Ademas del juego de colores, la arquitectura japonese se distingue por la animacion de sus lineas. La evolucion arquitectonica de los Templos, ...insistido de la superposicion de un numero cada vez major de tejados (hasta CINCO)
y en la porfusion de motivos decorativos.¨
Thus the famous fresco mural in Horyuji Temple....was created by the Irish Monks, again learned at Monasteries in Europe, ie. France.


Japanese Sun goddess emerges from the earth, but this source indicates a Cave (ie. Cave of Bethlehem?)

https://www.worldhistory.org/image/5146/amaterasu-emerging-from-exile/

The Japanese myths indicated she descended from the Sun ...begs the question why is She portrayed coming from a cave or emerging from the earth?

page 99 - ¨A physical bravery was not enough and that a man was more admirable if he faced danger in the knowledge that he fought for a a cause and was for that reason ready to sacrifice his life...This lies behind Pericles words on the Athenian who died in battle: The man who can most truly be accounted brave is he who best knows the meaning of what is sweet in life and what is terrible, and than goes out UNDETTERED to most what is to come.¨

Highly plausible that the Knights Templars followed the same Sea Voyage trajectory as St. Brendan:

From the book, American Indians Myths and Mysteries, page 110

`During the 10th century and 11th Centuries the Northern Hemisphere experienced its 2nd warmest period since the latest Ice Age ....the Artic Ice was so greatly diminished that sailing vessels could have made their way through the NorthWest passage of Canada, where the prevailing winds are from the East and than down the Pacific Coast...`

Thus the Knights Templars would have stopped in Greenland and Iceland former Irish Religious Communities and perhaps Vikings settlements. From their they went onto Japan.

[Guapo]

St. Brendans Voyage to Japan: Evidently they must have been told that the Artic NorthWest passage was free of ice in 560ad. Vincent Gaddis on page 112 to 113: Greenland and Iceland were Irish Religious communities settled long before even St. Brendan, they would have informed them of the ice free passage. However, it was not without risk, the ice could have formed back and block the access once they were in Japan...no way home, yet St. Brendan was buried in Ireland.

One of the most important features of the presence of Catholics is Wine. ``Grape-growing in Japan began in 718 AD, in Katsunuma, Yamanashi Prefecture.[2] Japan's early viticulture was based on the Koshu grape, thought to be originally from the Georgia caucasus region.`` Earlier than 718ad, it would have been late 500s, imo.
https://www.kcpinternational.com/2016/06/a-brief-history-of-japanese-wines/


``The voyages were made in curraghs described by Roman geographers as the principal boats of the British Isles. They were made of tanned oxhides stretched over Oak frames, the joints being sealed with tar. They had sails as well as oars, some were long enough to carry 20 men. They were practically unsinkable and would be capable of crossing the Ocean in stormy weather.`` Vincent Gaddis, page 112

``The Vikings pushed the Irish Celts further and further west ...ie, Norsemen arrived in Iceland and Greenland found Irish Religious colonies...the Celts settled in Newfoundland and along the St. Lawrence River...assimilated into the Alqonquin Indians`` like possibly the Hurons?...also the Iroquois Confederation that united the 5 Indian Communities was based on Relgious purposes and peace to stop warring among themselves...recall the 5 Monasteries of St. Brendan?
At any rate, St. Brendan if they could hold as many as 20 men, they would have taken 3 boats with adaption to animals and goods to barter, etc...

`Christian Ireland from its beginning lived in special awareness of the Sea, not a Sea to be feared, but stirred the imagination and drew men to seek what is beyond the far horizon.`` page 112, Vincent Gaddiss

St. Brendan made 2 great Voyages one allegedly to Florida and the Bahamas, where in both places he found Irish MOnks who had proceeded him.`
