Tokugawa was not happy with this and saw it troublesome to traditional beliefs. A decision came to ban all Christians later on, and it lasted for about two decades.  In 1637, uprisings started, and shoguns ruthlessly persecuted Christians.  All Japanese were forced to demonstrate faithfulness to some branch of Buddhism. These policies eventually eliminated Christianity in Japan and led to the formation of an exclusion policy.
