description The article analyzes the emergence and consolidation of the Misericórdias in Nagasaki, contextualizing them within the framework of Luso-Japanese relations and Catholic evangelization, particularly under Jesuit influence, between the mid-sixteenth century and the subsequent period. It argues that the earliest charitable and hospital structures did not constitute merely a philanthropic response, but also a cultural and institutional apparatus indispensable to the implantation of Christianity in an environment marked by population displacements, conditional tolerance, and political tensions. Drawing on a critical reading of narrative and historiographical sources (with particular recourse to Luís Fróis) and the chronological sequencing of references to ecclesiastical buildings, the article reinterprets traditionally accepted dates and proposes that religious organization in Nagasaki predates, in operational terms, later references. It concludes that the Misericórdia emerges integrated into an expanding urban ecosystem: linked to the reuse of spaces, the creation of local support networks, and the participation of displaced or converted communities. Thus, charitable activity proves structural to missionary work, functioning as linguistic and social mediation, and as infrastructure for caring for, integrating, and sustaining practices of faith.
