                A facial reproduction of Italian missionary Giovanni Battista Sidotti, who died in 1714 in what is now Tokyo, is prepared to be photographed at the National Museum of Nature and Science in the Japanese capital on Nov. 8, 2016. Using computer tomography, a 3D printer, resins and Sidotti's skull that was unearthed in 2014 from the remains of a prison for Christians in Tokyo's Bunkyo Ward, the museum reproduced Sidotti's face. The team also used historical documents to deduct that the Italian had black hair and eyes. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
