The Christianity that has typically been presented to Japan has been very Western-centric, and in order for it to work it needed to adapt to the unique Japanese culture. Unfortunately, many European missionaries considered the Japanese 'adaptions' of their religion to be wrong. It's a fact that many current Christian rituals/holidays were adapted from European pagan practices prior to them being converted. In a way, Christianity has been kept pretty Euro-American centric (some pockets in the Middle East as well), though that has been changing recently with a more modern outlook on things.
