Afterward, Lord Tadaoki, despite detesting Christianity, grieved over the passing of his beloved wife and organized a grand funeral in the chapel.

Gracia must have been extremely content in heaven.

Gracia still prays for peace in this world.

Hosokawa Tadaoki and Gracia’s son, Tadatoshi, later became the feudal lord of Kumamoto. For the next 240 years, the Hosokawa family ruled Kumamoto. Their bloodline was passed down to the Imperial family, and one became the prime minister of Japan. They continue to be connected to this world, including Suizenji Jojuen Garden.

Well then, I, along with Gracia, pray for peace and safety from heaven.
