    While neighbouring powers fell quickly to advancing European colonizers, Japan was a very tough nut to crack and even Portuguese navigators find it hard to colonize. It being isolated and remote was one advantage. The Island had a strategical advantage. Only after Meiji restoration, Japan opened up for the rest of the world. Japan was never colonized, rather it in fact attained a status of being an imperialist power just like its European counterparts.

    During the Tokugawa era, the Nihonbashi was the center of five kaido that began in 1601. The major highways of today's Japan roughly follow the route of the kaido (Route 1, 2, etc), collectively known as Edo Five Routes. There was the Tokaido that connected Edo to Kyoto and had 53 stations (and had an artistic interpretation by Utagawa Hiroshige). It merged with Nakasendo (hitting the center of Honshu, has 69 stations). Then there was the Koshu Kaido with 44 stations that ended at modern Yamanashi before merging with Nakasendo, then the Oshu terminating at Mutsu Province (today's Fukushima Prefecture, had 27 stations), and the Nikko Kaido that terminated at modern Tochigi Prefecture with 21 stations. These routes' stations had border control functions. Also, today's Tokaido Shinkansen follows roughly the Tokaido route.

    Tokugawa wanted Japan to avoid Western values, only for the Meiji restoration to adopt some of it. I think Japan melded traditional and Western values very well, and they have [for the most part] done it in their own terms, making the modern Japanese culture we know [and love (at least in my case)].

    Whenever I watch videos on the edo period, I always remember the Shinsengumi samurai. Best knows for breaking down the “born a Samurai” idea and would hire and train men from all walks of life to serve the shogun as samurai. The 3 highest ranking men in Shinsengumi were all from farming families but attained their rank through sheer skill with a sword.
