Following this Johnston’s next major endeavour was the translation of a novel called Chinmoku, written by
Endo Shusaku, a Japanese Catholic. The book, released as Silence, tells the story of a Jesuit apostate in
Japan, and because of this many of Johnston’s colleagues weren’t pleased that he chose it. The translation,

released in 1969, was highly regarded, and it introduced the acclaimed novel and writer to a new audience.
Johnston met Endo when undertaking the translation, and they remained friends until Endo’s death in
1996.
Johnston continued to write over the decades that followed, and he amassed a wider and wider following.
He was in demand as a teacher and travelled extensively, to China, the Philippines, Australia and elsewhere.
In 2006 he released an autobiography titled Mystical Journey. Johnston died in 2010, in Tokyo. Unity for the Church in Africa
