The Dutch were the only Europeans allowed to trade in Japan during the Edo period (1603-1868). They were permitted to operate from a single trading post on the island of Deshima in Nagasaki. Unlike other Europeans, the Dutch maintained a policy of non-interference in Japanese affairs and were viewed as valuable sources of knowledge about Western technology and medicine. This limited engagement allowed for a unique cultural exchange while Japan remained largely isolated from the rest of the world.
