The Mainichi Shimbun website also had a story on this a few days ago:

Ouch
Thank you for sharing those news stories. It was something I was aware of in Japan's past (anyone who's watched the mini-series from the 80's called SHOGUN can 'see' how Japanese used torture often) and to see those who died, in the name of Christ, honored is great.
'For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son (Jesus –who died on the cross for all our sins), that whosoever believes in Him will not perish, but, have eternal life.' -John 3:16 (New Testament - Bible)
