Ryusa Konishi

Japanese: 小西隆佐 - こにしりゅうさ
Ryusa Konishi

He was a senior vassal of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and was known as the magistrate of Sakai, and also as a Christian. His sons, Josei (date of birth and death unknown) and Yukinaga, were both Christians, and are often mentioned in church historical documents. The origins of "Ryuusa" are unclear, and there are no handwritten documents, so it cannot be determined whether he was called "Ryuusa" or "Ryuusa". However, it is known that he became a Christian early on, and that his religious name was "Jochin" (Jochin). He was favored by Hideyoshi, and mainly handled finances. He died of an illness in Kyoto at the end of September in Tensho 20 (around the end of October or November 1, 1592). Josei succeeded him as magistrate of Sakai.

Japanese:

豊臣秀吉(とよとみひでよし)の重臣で、堺奉行(さかいぶぎょう)、またキリシタンとして知られる。その息子、如清(じょせい)(生没年不詳)、行長(ゆきなが)はいずれもキリシタンであり、教会の史料にしばしば記載されている。「りゅうさ」の出自は明らかでなく、自筆文書もないので、「隆佐」か「立佐」か断定できない。しかし、早くキリシタンとなり、その教名が「ジョウチン」(常珍)であったことは確認できる。秀吉に寵用(ちょうよう)され、主として財務を取り扱った。天正(てんしょう)20年9月末(西暦1592年10月末か11月1日ごろ)京都で病死。堺奉行の職は如清が継承した。
