The Closed Country Edict was issued in 1635 by [[Tokugawa Iemitsu|Tokugawa Iemitsu]], [[Shogun|shogun]] of [[Japan|Japan]] from 1623 to 1651. Iemitsu followed in the footsteps of his predecessor, [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi|Toyotomi Hideyoshi]], and abided by the precedents set by his grandfather and former shogun, [[Tokugawa Ieyasu|Tokugawa Ieyasu]].
In support of the continuation of the isolationist policies established by shogun Ieyasu, the Edict of 1635 is considered a prime example of the Japanese desire for seclusion. This decree is one of the many acts that were written by Iemitsu to eliminate European influence, and enforced strict government rules and regulations to impose these ideas. The Edict of 1635 was written to the two commissioners of Nagasaki, a port city located in southern Japan.
