In 1614 a small group of Japanese including samurai, made it to the aztec empire into Mexico city (New Spain), traveled the silver roads and I read were used to fend off Chichimec raiders. They eventually make it all the way to Rome to be baptized..the daimyo of Sendai, Hasekura Rokuemon Tsunenaga. After that trip they entered that phase of no European contact
At the time, that would be quite a voyage. Japan and Mexico are almost stupidly far apart, geographically, and sailing the Pacific Ocean, in 17th Century vessels, was no small feat.
Tsunenaga Hasekura is not a daimyo. The daimyo of Sendai was Date Masamune, and his retainer was Hasekura Tsunenaga. It is impossible for a daimyo to go abroad himself.
Isolation was a good call. If we look around the world we see how European colonisation devastated economies, cultures all around the world. Had they not isolated themselves and fallen under the influence of Western Europe, they may be in the same state now as many post-Colonial countries are. It wasn't all good, but I think the world would have lost another culture to greed.
Literally, someone finally said it.👏 I feel sad that my country didn't have unity and didn't treat European 'traders' like the snakes they were and we were stupidly colonised due to our own infighting and petty squabbles. Japan is a good example that colonisation can be prevented without war.
I pay my tributes to the Tokugawa Shoguns for saving Japan’s future and preserving Japan’s ancient cultures of Shinto Shrines, Buddhist Temples and having Confucianism take part of the social media as well during the Edo Period! Staying isolated from European Colonial Powers was the right thing to do as Japan, Korea and China stayed isolated for centuries of peace and prosperity!
Ty for going over this, I was working with a topic that was talking about countries isolating their selfs and u were able to choose any country, I hope I get an A
Korea isolated itself twice as hard as Japan. Not even allowing dutch merchants to trade with them. China too was hardline isolationists but europeans wanted their tea and porcelain too much to tolerate that (opium wars)

The reason they self isolate themselves because of the leaders of Japan hated change especially that if it displaces their heirchy. China did the same thing.
Many, many, many dictators want to isolate their country, including N. Korea today. It is typical dictatorship behavior to not want the populace to know about other countries with more freedom.
Yeah well I hope the Japanese never lose their history and traditions. America has allowed itself to be run over with disregard for things that make a society strong. Political correction, Identity politics, incomparable cultures, devaluing values and the family unit and other agendas have turned America into an asylum where lunatics are permitted to trample all over tradition.
These "Japan isolated itself" arguments are wrong. If you want to see isolation, look at China. Rangaku enabled Japan a channel to learn about western scientific progress whether it be sailing, astronomy or food, you name it; japan wanted it which the Dutch were only to happy to share with Japan. Rangaku is short for O Ran Da; Japan loves to shorten words so it became Ran gaku (gaku means schooling/learning). thank you for introducing Nakahama Manjiro story as well; superb 👍🙏⛩💯
well rangaku was only limited to the knowledge the Dutch brought and often times were in conflict with shogun's view, so thus were limited for most of the time

This isolation is imposed on the country and suppression of Christianity occurred because Tokugawa ieyasu won the the Tokugawa won the war ultimately. If another daimyo lord from samurai families such Oda, Toyotomi, Takeda, Uesugi, Imagawa, Hojo or another clan defeated everyone else and became the shogunate, things will be very different. It is impossible to say how the difference would be like, but it certainly will a lot different from how it was like under the Tokugawa shogunate.
due to left wing and liberal point of view in japan history. it is a lot of misunderstood and distortion for human light. Japan has had the top in human right compared to EU. eg. Japanese wemen in low social class can reads book and write a letter/liturature, easy to travel around Japan, even if pet dog. eta/hinin are just a classfied oqupations groups. their incomes protected under government auspices. their incomes are 3~5 times of average.

This video shows wrong images for Edo period. Some pictures such as 0:23 2:17 4:17 represent scenes in Meiji period after the isolation policy ended.

Funny how religion spreads though. Most Koreans would of been Buddhists if it wasn't for the Christian missionaries just like most parts of Asia.

This reminds me of One Piece Wano arc and it made me sad.
Wano arc are based on isolation of Japan.
One piece is about the world itself not only japan

True, but I think they were also scared of colonization
China was considerably less successful at it, or so I'm told.
@@jacob4920Yup because the British threw a hissyfit and got the Chinese addicted to opium through smuggling it in. It's always the Brits 😂😂

Yes, its just you. Get an education, watching UA-cam downloads doesn't make you an academic.

Poor old peasants. 😢
Sad ik 😞😞😞
They blamed the civil war on the foreign missionaries? First I've heard of that. Xavier arrived in Japan in 1549. Sengoku Jidai started in 1467...
it's another one
reminds me of north korea, now

our country fell due to political marriage and religion
Simple they got defeated in imjin war in the late 16 century that's why they isolated themselves
irrelevant
The Edo Shogunate had diplomatic relations with both the Qing Dynasty and Yi Dynasty Korea.

America should take a cue from the pages of Japan's history. We've taken on too much and alot of what we take in is no good.
