well its really called their policy of isolation i just learned this in school and i am using my history book so it will be correct. so the people called the tokugawa feared foriengers would try to take their power from them, so for 200 years they made it so no one could leave the island. If any japanese came back to Japan from Another Country they were killed right away, no ships large enough to sail were allowed to be built. they traded with no one except the dutch, but only from a small isolated island in 1641, and the dutch were expected to give the japanese information about the west.
