Japan's isolation, known as sakoku, was largely established by Tokugawa Ieyasu and formalized by his successors in the early 17th century. The primary reasons for this policy were to maintain political stability, prevent foreign influence, particularly from Christian missionaries, and protect Japanese culture. By limiting trade and contact with the outside world, Japan aimed to avoid the colonial domination that affected other nations. This isolation lasted over 200 years until Commodore Matthew Perry's arrival in 1853 forced Japan to open up to foreign trade.

Societies might isolate themselves to preserve their cultural identity and values, protecting against external influences that could threaten their traditions. Economic factors, such as the desire for self-sufficiency or protection from global market fluctuations, can also drive isolation.

Ultimately, isolation can be a strategic choice to maintain autonomy and safeguard a community's way of life.


Who did Tokugawa Ieyasu's control using the alternate attendance policy?

Tokugawa Ieyasu controlled the daimyōs, or feudal lords, of Japan through the alternate attendance policy known as "sankin-kōtai."

This system not only ensured the loyalty of the daimyōs by keeping them away from their own domains but also fostered economic dependence on Edo, thus centralizing power and promoting stability within the Tokugawa shogunate.
