Sr. Rose, I've mentioned it in another post. I do hope you can find a copy of "Silence and Beauty: hidden faith born of suffering" by Makoto Fujimura. From the jacket... ...Silence, took visual artist Makoto Fujimura on a pilgrimage of grappling with the nature of art, the significance of pain, and his own cultural heritage. His own artistic faith journey overlaps with Endo's as he uncovers deep layers of meaning in Japanese history and literature. He finds connections as to how faith is lived amid trauma and glimpses of how the gospel is conveyed among Christ-hidden cultures."
