Bartolomé de Alva, in Mexico in 1634, wrote that the Japanese had converted to the Christian faith much more quickly than the Mexicans, even though the Japanese were introduced to Christianity more recently. He called the Japanese the "Nahuas' 'younger brothers in the faith.'" Still, he also pointed to the evangelists who had gone to Japan and became martyred there. A wave of persecution had begun in Japan in 1597, and there was an especially notable case in 1622 in Nagasaki. Sell argues, citing a passage in Chimalpahin, that some Japanese stayed in Mexico City for four years, allowing them to become known to the Nahuas, and not exotic. In Chimalpahin, the are called Jabun tlaca. (central Mexico, 1634)
