This manuscript describes a man named Hisa and a woman named Kame during the Edo (also known as Tokugawa) period in Japan. As part of the practice of shumon aratame, they had to stand on a fumi-e, a likeness of Jesus and Mary, to prove that they were not Christians. In the Edo period of Japan, the government used shumon aratame as part of an effort to eradicate Christianity.
