Our Lady of Akita
Our Lady of Akita is the Roman Catholic title of the Blessed Virgin Mary associated with a wooden statue venerated by Japanese faithful who hold it to be miraculous. The image is known due to the Marian apparitions reported in 1973 by ''Sister Agnes Katsuko Sasagawa'' in the remote area of Yuzawadai, near the city of Akita in Japan. The messages emphasize prayer (especially recitation of the Rosary) and penance in combination to cryptic visions prophesying sacerdotal persecution and heresy in the Catholic Church.
The Marian apparitions were unusual in that the crying of the statue of the Virgin Mary was broadcast on Japanese national television, and gained further notoriety due to the sudden healing of hearing impairment experienced by Sasagawa after the apparitions.〔Schroedel, Jenny and Schroedel, John. ''The Everything Mary Book: The Life and Legacy of the Blessed Mother'', 2006 ISBN 1-59337-713-4 page 137-138〕 The image also became affiliated with the devotion to ''Our Lady of All Nations'' venerated in Amsterdam, from which the image shares close similarities.
The local Ordinary-Bishop of Akita, Bishop John Shojiro-Ito gave formal public assent to the Marian apparitions, as promulgated as authoritative under the canonical norms of Pope Paul VI while the Holy See itself has not issued any decree regarding the apparitions. At present, the local Marian cult for venerating the Blessed Virgin Mary under this title is not suppressed within the Catholic church.
==Background==
For several decades, Agnes Sasagawa had encountered many health problems as a result of a poorly performed appendix operation and was immobile for over a decade. Her health reportedly improved after drinking water from Lourdes. After going totally deaf, she went to live with the nuns in the remoteness of Yuzawadai in Akita Prefecture.〔Petrisko, Thomas W., Laurentin, Rene, and Fontecchio, Michael J., ''The Fatima Prophecies: At the Doorstep of the World'' by 1998 ISBN 1-891903-30-6 page 172〕
