Description Digital redo of my older artwork, now with little lore

In alternative course of time, Japan opened on Portuguese and Spanish traders, instead of isolating just to Dutch
As effect, new Creed has emerged over time, called Kirishitan (from japanized Cristão ~ "Christian")
This new faith combined Catholic religion with indigenous believes of the Islands, similarly to Shinto
Living mostly on Kiusiu island, Kirishitan are fascinated with Western world, especially baroque artists form Iberia and Italy,
importing many of their artworks to Japan. Over years, local craftsmans started merging their work with motives of "Far West", 
creating culture mix unique for their Island
