Which Christian denominations believe Jesus is buried in Japan?

Can a Christian believe in Oni (Japanese Demons)?
I am a Christian but also I have a strong belief in [demons Japanese][1] (no better Tototro http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096283/ why edited anyway) style like beer demon, wine demon maybe cigars demon anyway good food demon.

I am a Christian but also I have a strong belief in demons Japanese (no better Tototro http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096283/ why edited anyway) style like beer demon, wine demon maybe cigars demon anyway good food demon. Now this belief helps a lot because from that I understand they are strong forces and shall be treated with respect but controlled. But then the Bible says little about demons and almost always like 'pagan gods' or something. That is not exactly it, I think. But then as Christian Colridge style I have my doubts maybe I shall not believe in such demons? A brief description from Wikipedia: > Depictions of oni vary widely but usually portray them as hideous, > gigantic creatures with sharp claws, wild hair, and two long horns > growing from their heads. They are humanoid for the most part, but > occasionally, they are shown with unnatural features such as odd > numbers of eyes or extra fingers and toes. Their skin may be any > number of colors, but red and blue are particularly common. (totoro is not like that)

Most people know that March 17 is the Feast of St Patrick. But in Japan, the faithful celebrate the Feast of the Discovery of the Hidden Christians or Kakure Krishistans . In 1614, all Catholic missionaries were expelled from Japanese soil. Fr. B. Petitjean arrived in Nagasaki, Japan in August 1864 and was able to construct a small Church. On March 17, 1865 he discovered that the Christian faith had survived in Japan for some 250 years without any missionaries (priests) to administer the sacraments! Outside the celebration of the Mass for this [feast](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Roman_Calendar) , how do Japanese Catholics celebrate this feast?
