*''Japanese:'' サンフェリペ号事件 (''San Feripe gô jiken'')
*''Date: [[1596]]''
The ''San Felipe'' was a Spanish galleon which, in December<!--I don't know if this refers to the 12th lunar month or to actual Dec.--> 1596, while en route from Manila to Acapulco, became shipwrecked at [[Urado Bay]], on the coast of [[Tosa Province]] ([[Shikoku]]).
[[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] ordered the ship broken up, and its cargo divvied up; the lion's share went to Hideyoshi and to the ''[[daimyo|daimyô]]'' of [[Tosa han|Tosa]]. The Spanish captain or navigator of the ship reportedly traveled to [[Osaka]] to petition Hideyoshi for compensation or redress for having his ship destroyed and his cargoes stolen.
The affair is said to have rekindled in Hideyoshi a hostile attitude towards the Christians, and a fear of the religion's renewed popularity in Japan. The following year saw the crucifixion of six European Franciscans, three Japanese Jesuits, and seventeen Japanese Christian laymen (see [[Twenty-six Martyrs of Japan]])<!--Is there a better title this should be linked to?-->.
