Sakoku | Estateplanning | Vibepedia.Network

Sakoku was the isolationist foreign policy of the Japanese Tokugawa shogunate, severely limiting relations and trade between Japan and other countries from 1633 to 1868. During this period, almost all foreign nationals were banned from entering Japan, while common Japanese people were kept from leaving the country. Despite the isolationist policy, Japan maintained extensive trade with China through the port of Nagasaki and allowed limited European influence through the Dutch factory at Dejima.
