This article deserves to be strengthened with a discussion of WHY the shogunate persued this policy.

Second that. A basic reason I have come accross, but do not have formal references to, is that Tokugawa Ieyasu recognised the foreign interaction could introduce ideas and technology which could lead to rebellion, and so was an effective way of controlling this. Also, it may have been intended to reduce the influence and growth of Christianity, which was being introduced via Spain and Portugal in the 16th centuries. Reference to the Japanese version of this article could help to improve it.

Remember, when it comes to footnotes for a featured article candidate, the more, the better. You can't have too many. The bar for FA acceptance is now a lot higher than it used to be. Cla68 03:53, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Project Assessment

A fine start, but needs expansion and clean-up overall. Also, I think we ought to include a section on historiography, and the opinion emerging today among scholars that Japan was not all that closed, and that, while Japanese could not travel abroad, the relations with other nations, along with trade and influence with those nations through the four gateways were quite strong, vibrant, and important.

Added the "why" of Sakoku, translated from Japanese high-school history textbooks and the Japanese version of this wiki. Some native-English speaker should clean up the text please. April 2007.
