*Correction*
Toyotomi Hideyoshi ordered the invasion of Korea, not Tokugawa Hideyoshi.
Once upon a time in Japan, shitty landlords, high taxes, and religious persecution united a diverse band of Christians, Samurai, Ronin, and farmers under the leadership of a teenager, believed to be an Apostle, in order to rise up against the Lords of Shimabara and the Shogun himself.
