He allowed Christian missionaries to enter the country and even granted them protection. However, after his death, his successors did not share the same enthusiasm for Christianity and actively suppressed its influence. This led to a decline in Christian acceptance and the eventual persecution of Christians in Japan during the Tokugawa period.
