What was the reason for the Japanese seclusion edicts?
The shogun wanted to control Japan's trade to make sure any one daimyo didn't gain a lot of power and control trading with the Westerners. Christianity was also the reason. The Tokugawa did not support Christianity, the religion of most outsiders. *** Protestant English and Dutch traders warned the shogun that the Portuguese and Spanish inserted Catholic missionaries to develop a following before the military came to colonize and dominate. This is what happened in the Philippines. Most of the daimyo from Kyushu who fought under Mitsunari Ishida (on the Toyotomi side, against the Tokugawa) were Christian. The Tokugawa also understood that the Christian religion demanded allegiance to God first, before earthly rulers. Christianity and foreign trade were actually supported by those in power (except for a few brief exceptions) until all Japan was unified under the Tokugawa shogunate government, and foreign influences appeared to jeopardize their control over Japan. Add to that, most other Asian countries (Indonesia, China, Thailand, Philippines, etc.) were coming under the control of European nations, and Japan wanted to avoid this. The Dutch were the only Europeans allowed to continue trade with Japan, because they never conducted missionary activities, and because they provided naval support in supressing the Shimabara Rebellion. Even so, the Dutch were confined to a man-made island in Nagasaki harbor and not allowed to interact with the Japanese public.
