	Sakoku - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sakoku (Japanese: 鎖国, literally "country in chains" or "lock up of country") was the foreign relations policy of Japan, whereby nobody, whether foreign or Japanese, could enter or leave the country on penalty of death.
		The Sakoku policy was a way of controlling commerce with other nations as well as asserting its new place in the East Asian hierarchy, one that helped push Japan away from tributary relations that had existed between itself and China for multiple centuries before hand.
		Later on the Sakoku policy was the main safeguard against the total depletion of Japanese mineral resources, such as silver and copper, to the outside world; although, while silver exportation through Nagasaki was controlled by the Bakufu to the point of stopping all exportation, the exportation of silver through Korea continued in relatively high quantities.

		This lasted from 1641 to 1853 in the History of Japan, though the term was not coined until the 19th century.
		In theory, the only foreign influence permitted was the Dutch "factory" (trading post) at Dejima in Nagasaki, but trade with China was also handled at Nagasaki; in addition, trade with Korea was conducted via Tsushima Province (today part of Nagasaki prefecture) and with the Kingdom of Ryukyu Islands via Satsuma Province (today's Kagoshima prefecture).
		This policy ended with the Convention of Kanagawa in response to demands made by Commodore Perry.

		The last of the Sakoku edicts, issued in 1939 in the aftermath of the shimabara uprising stated that Portuguese ships would no longer be allowed to enter Japanese ports.
		In what is sometimes referred to as the sixth Sakoku edict, the shogunate transferred the Dutch from Hirado to the man-made island of Dejima in Nagasaki Harbour on 1641.

	Re: Jewish traders during Sakoku
		Although this is before the Sakoku period, the oldest Jewish graveyard in Japan, which was located within the grounds of the Kyomizu temple in Kyoto(I may have the temple name wrong) dates from 1100 AD.
		Jews, Nestorian Christians and Zoroastrians were all granted the right to practice their relgion in China between 810 to 820 AD, so it is not too much of an inference to place them already in Japan by this period.
		I might also go so far as to suggest that wherever Indian and Irani merchants were is where you would also find Jewish merchants.
