EP62 Sakoku and Misunderstanding Japan’s Long Isolation P2

Posted by samuraiarchives on March 17th, 2013

Japan's self imposed "isolation", known as "sakoku", was ostensibly in effect from the 1630's to the 1850's. Despite the view that Japan was completely isolated and walled off from the rest of the world, there was considerable international trade and activity happening throughout the period.  This is part two of two.
