Towards the beginning of the Tokugawa Shogunate, Tokugawa Ieyasu (shogun at the time), issued an edict that prevented Japanese from leaving Japan, and closed Japan to all foreigners. This brought 250 years of peace to the country. In July 1853, US Commodore Perry was the first foreigner to gain access into the closed country during this period.
