When Portuguese merchants arrive in 1543, they are the first Europeans to set foot in Japan. Missionaries quickly set out to convert the nation to Christianity. In the same year, a samurai boy named Tokugawa Ieyasu is born to a low ranking daimyo family. To prove his family's loyalty to their ruling warlord, Ieyasu is given as a hostage where he remains for most of his childhood. When he is finally freed, he reclaims his family's domain and allies himself with the most powerful rulers in Japan: Oda Nobunaga, and his successor, Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

When used as a contemporary term, Yamato has strong associations with the imperial system, and thus with conservative nationalist ideologies. Contemporary Japan is considered a highly homogeneous society, but regional variation in social and cultural patterns has always been significant. Location and Geography.

Japan's isolation in modern times didn't really begin until Iemitsu Tokugawa's rule in the first half of the 1600s, when he outlawed Christianity, abolished foreign influence, and restricted Western trade with Japan to a Dutch trading company's outpost on a small island of Nagasaki harbor.
