The Edo Period
• The Edo period was a peaceful time in Japanese history
• Japan was under the rule of the Tokugawa Shogunate
• Strict social order, revival of arts and culture, economic growth
• One of the main characteristics was isolation from other cultures

Isolationism in Edo Japan
• Before the Edo period, Japan had been engaged in a great deal of international trade and had been fairly open to missionaries and visitors
• But Japanese rulers feared the spread of Christianity and too much control by Europeans so they expelled the Portuguese and restricted the Chinese and Dutch to a small area of Nagasaki

Sakoku
• No foreigner could enter (nor any Japanese leave) the country on penalty of death
• Trade operated through 5 different, strictly controlled entry points
• Although trade flourished, this policy controlled cultural contact and thus Japanese culture flourished “in a vacuum” to some extent
