Biography

Jesuit mission

In 1579, Valignano was sent to aid Francisco Cabral, who was already doing missionary work in Japan, but the two men despised one another almost instantly. Valignano used his Jesuit connections to scour Japan for Templar recruits, and upon Cabral confronting Valignano regarding this, the latter used his influence to force Cabral to resign from his post as Superior of the Jesuit Mission.[1]

Meeting Oda Nobunaga

On 8 March 1581, Valignano arrived in Kyoto with Luís Fróis and his swordbearer Diogo to meet with the daimyō Oda Nobunaga to discuss the free travel of his priests in the country. During the meeting, Nobunaga took a liking to Diogo and acquiesced Valignano's request on the condition that he take Diogo into his service. A disgruntled Valignano accepted the terms, though not before telling Nobunaga that Diogo was better for little more than bearing one's sandals.[2]
