"The namban liturgical lacquers that have survived to the present day in churches, monasteries and convents [...] provide tangible evidence of the cross-cultural interaction that occurred between the East and West, during the so-called ‘Christian century’ in Japan."

I've got a *ton* of Namban Art in this tag, which is basically a genre of works from Japan depicting mostly Portuguese merchants from the 1500s and 1600s, including a lot of Afro-Portuguese people: medievalpoc.tumblr.com/tagged/Namban
