Prior to its imperialist policy during WW II, Japan had a long history of isolationism.
During the Golden Age of China, there were periods of isolationism, such as the Ming Dynasty's strict trade policies and the self-sufficiency promoted during the Song Dynasty. However, China also engaged in diplomatic and trade relations with neighboring regions like Korea, Japan, and Southeast Asia. Overall, Chinese isolationism was not absolute and there were periods of openness and exchange with other civilizations.
Isolationism in Japan was enforced during the Edo period (1603-1868), known as sakoku. This policy restricted foreign influences by controlling foreign trade and limiting contact with foreigners. However, Japan began to open up to the world in the mid-19th century.
