The Tokugawa shogunate maintained Japan's isolation from 1603 until 1853 primarily to preserve its political stability and prevent foreign influence, particularly from Western powers and Christianity. This isolationist policy, known as sakoku, aimed to strengthen the shogunate's control over the country and protect Japanese culture and society from external disruptions. By limiting trade to a few select foreign nations, such as the Netherlands and China, the shogunate was able to regulate foreign interactions and maintain a degree of self-sufficiency. Ultimately, this isolation ended when Commodore Matthew Perry's fleet arrived in 1853, forcing Japan to open its ports to foreign trade.
Yes, evidence of a lessening of Japanese isolation can be seen in the mid-19th century, particularly with the arrival of Commodore Matthew Perry in 1853. His expedition compelled Japan to open its ports to foreign trade after more than two centuries of self-imposed isolation under the Tokugawa shogunate. This led to the signing of the Treaty of Kanagawa in 1854, marking the beginning of Japan's engagement with the international community and eventually contributing to its modernization efforts.
