Sakoku Policy | Estateplanning | Vibepedia.Network

The sakoku policy was the isolationist foreign policy of the Japanese Tokugawa shogunate, severely limiting relations and trade between Japan and other countries from 1633 to 1868. Despite its isolationist nature, Japan maintained extensive trade with China and allowed limited European influence through the Dutch factory at Dejima in Nagasaki. The policy was enacted by Tokugawa Iemitsu and had a profound impact on Japan's development and its relations with the rest of the world.
