LOYAL to your diamyo wat is it ?What causeed japans isolation and how has it been important in the country's history ?
I love answering this question, especially since it is really misunderstood. The period of ';isolation'; is generally referred to in Japanese as sankoku or ';closed country.'; This period spanned most of the Tokugawa or Edo Period (1600-1867). After the battle of sekigahara in 1600 Tokugawa Ieyasu was able to bring Japan under his control. The Japanese had been engaged to this point in trade largely with the Portuguese, where silver was largely exported for Chinese silk and other commodities.





From 1600-1640 both the English and Dutch arrive to try to set up trade negations with Japan similar to Portugal. The Spanish also arrive, but their legacy is less remembered. The English only exist for a period of 10 years and in 1639 the Portuguese are basically expelled as well. The Dutch were moved from their factory, basically a warehouse, to a small man made islands in Nagasaki harbor call Deshima.





The expulsion of the Portuguese and the call for closed country was basically a way for the Tokugawa government to control what was happening in the country. Jesuits brought by the Portuguese were busy converting people and a Christian rebellion in 1639 forced Tokugawa Iemitsu, grandson of Ieyasu, to expel all Christians and with them the Portuguese. The Dutch stayed as they did not see religious conversion as part of their missions, unlike the Catholic Portuguese.





However, Japan is only in reality isolated to the Western world. During this time there is a huge influx of Confucian scholars from China lecturing on the significance of the Confucian order. A large number of Koreans immigrate to Japan and develop a local porcelain industry. This argument is better made and clearer in Ronald Toby's book State and Diplomacy in Early Modern Japan.





This is an important part of the history as Japan is able to keep a high level of physical well-being equal or better then that of the West, which helps to prepare them for the technological advances they will import after Japan is open in the Meiji period.





The name of the code you want is probably Bushido, but that term is not really use commonly till the early 1900's.





Previous to the Tokugawa period samurai were like any other warriors and sometime not as ';honorable'; as we think they are. This notion of ';honor'; and refinement only develops in the Tokugawa when you have a bunch of warriors who have no war to fight.





I hope this helps!!!
