From the BBC News website: The Japanese Jesus trail


Local legend says Mr Sawaguchi (r) is a living descendant of Jesus

A Japanese legend claims that Jesus escaped Jerusalem and made his way to Aomori in Japan where he became a rice farmer. Christians say the story is nonsense. However, a monument there known as the Grave of Christ attracts curious visitors from all over the world.
