 After the healing of a concubine of the powerful "daimyō" of Sendai, Date Masamune, in Edo, Sotelo was invited to the northern part of Japan, in the area controlled by Date, under whom Christianity was still allowed.He came back to Tokyo the following year and constructed and inaugurated a new church on 12 May 1613, in the area of Asakusa Torigoe.The Bakufu reacted by arresting the Christians, and Sotelo himself was put in the Kodenma-chō prison.
