Tokugawa Takes All: When Hideyoshi died in 1598, he hoped to have his five-year-old son continue his "dynasty," initially under the tutelage of five regents. But one of the regents was Ieyasu Tokugawa, who had been biding his time at Edo for 12 years, nurturing dynastic ambitions of his own. Of the cunning, ruthless triumvirate that came out on top at the end of the country's century of civil war, Tokugawa was without doubt the most patient, the most prudent — and most treacherous. He moved quickly to eliminate his strongest rivals, crushing them in 1600 at the great Battle of Sekigahara (near modern Nagoya). During its subsequent two and a half centuries of rule from the new capital established at Edo, the Tokugawa organized a tightly controlled coalition of some 260 daimyo in strategic strongholds throughout the country. The allegiance of this highly privileged and prestigious group was ensured by cementing their ethical principles in the code of bushido, "The way of the warrior": loyalty to one's master, defense of one's status and honor, and fulfillment of all obligations. Loyalty was further enforced by holding the vassals' wives and children hostage in Edo. All roads into Edo, the most famous being the Tokaido Highway, had checkpoints for guns coming in and for wives going out. One of the most effective ways of keeping a tight rein on the country was to cut it off from the outside world, to keep Japan Japanese. At first, Ieyasu Tokugawa was eager to promote foreign trade. He wanted silk and encouraged the Dutch and British as good, nonproselytizing Protestants just interested in trade. But he didn't like the Portuguese and Spanish Catholic missionaries, who he felt were undermining traditional Japanese values. He banned their activities in 1612 and two years later ordered the expulsion of all missionaries and unrepentant Japanese converts. Executions and torture followed. Converts were forced to renounce their faith by trampling crucifixes and effigies of Jesus and Mary. The Catholic Church has counted 3,125 martyrs in Japan from 1597 (beginning under Hideyoshi) to 1660. In 1635 the Japanese were forbidden, on pain of death, to attempt to travel abroad, and Japanese citizens already overseas were prevented from returning, in case they brought back subversive Christian doctrines. Western books were banned, as were Chinese books that mentioned Christianity. 

Question: "Give an important date in Japanese history that marks the "closing of Japan" to the outside world and give three examples of this isolation policy."

Answer: "In 1635, Japanese citizens were forbidden to travel abroad and couldn't come back if they were outside Japan, and Western books were banned"

Tokugawa Takes All: När Hideyoshi dog 1598 hoppades han få sin femårige son att fortsätta sin "dynasti", till en början under ledning av fem regenter. Men en av regenterna var Ieyasu Tokugawa, som hade bidat sin tid på Edo i 12 år, och fostrat sina egna dynastiska ambitioner. Av det listiga, hänsynslösa triumvirat, som kom ut på toppen i slutet av landets århundrade av inbördeskrig, var Tokugawa utan tvivel den mest tålmodiga, den klokaste — och mest förrädiska. Han rörde sig snabbt för att eliminera sina starkaste rivaler, och krossade dem år 1600 vid det stora slaget vid Sekigahara (nära modern Nagoya). Under dess efterföljande två och ett halvt århundraden av styre från den nya huvudstad som etablerades vid Edo organiserade Tokugawa en hårt kontrollerad koalition av omkring 260 daimyo i strategiska fästen över hela landet. Lojaliteten hos denna högt privilegierade och prestigefyllda grupp säkerställdes genom att befästa deras etiska principer i koden för bushido, "krigarens väg": lojalitet mot ens herre, försvar av ens status och heder, och uppfyllande av alla skyldigheter. Lojalitet framtvingades ytterligare genom att vasallernas fruar och barn hölls som gisslan i Edo. Alla vägar in i Edo, den mest kända är Tokaido Highway, hade vägspärrar för vapen som kom in och för fruar som gick ut. Ett av de mest effektiva sätten att hålla ett hårt grepp om landet var att skära av det från omvärlden, för att hålla Japanjapanerna kvar. Till en början var Ieyasu Tokugawa ivrig att främja utrikeshandeln. Han ville ha siden och uppmuntrade holländarna och britterna som goda, icke proselytiserande protestanter som bara var intresserade av handel. Men han gillade inte de portugisiska och spanska katolska missionärerna, som han ansåg underminerade traditionella japanska värderingar. Han förbjöd deras verksamhet 1612 och beordrade två år senare att alla missionärer och obotfärdiga japanska konvertiter skulle utvisas. Avrättningar och tortyr följde. Konverterarna tvingades avsäga sig sin tro genom att trampa på krucifix och avbildningar av Jesus och Maria. Katolska kyrkan har räknat 3 125 martyrer i Japan från 1597 (början under Hideyoshi) till 1660. År 1635 förbjöds japanerna, vid dödens smärta, att försöka resa utomlands, och japanska medborgare som redan var utomlands hindrades från att återvända, ifall de förde tillbaka omstörtande kristna läror. Västerländska böcker förbjöds, liksom kinesiska böcker som nämnde kristendomen. Fråga: "Ge ett viktigt datum i japansk historia som markerar "uteslutningen av Japan" till omvärlden och ge tre exempel på denna isoleringspolitik." Svar: "1635 förbjöds japanska medborgare att resa utomlands och kunde inte komma tillbaka om de var utanför Japan, och västerländska böcker förbjöds" Är detta svar på frågan korrekt? ALTERNATIV: - nej - ja
