In the second half of the fifteenth century, Europeans ventured into the sea primarily to seek new trade routes and access valuable resources, particularly spices, silks, and precious metals. The desire to bypass intermediaries in the lucrative trade with Asia and the pursuit of wealth, coupled with the spirit of exploration and competition among emerging nation-states, drove these maritime expeditions. Additionally, advancements in navigation technology and the desire for territorial expansion fueled their maritime endeavors.

The influx of European missionaries and the conversion of many Japanese to Christianity raised fears of foreign influence and the disruption of traditional values. This led to the eventual persecution of Christians and the implementation of strict policies to limit foreign interactions, culminating in Japan's sakoku (closed country) policy.
