Solution

The era during which Japan was almost completely shut off from the West is known as the Tokugawa period (1603-1868). This period was characterized by the establishment of a feudal system under the Tokugawa shogunate, which implemented a policy of isolation (known as Sakoku) that severely restricted foreign influence and trade. Japan closed its borders to most Western nations, allowing only limited contact with the Dutch and Chinese at specific ports like Nagasaki. This isolation lasted for over 250 years until the arrival of Commodore Perry in 1853, which eventually led to the opening of Japan to foreign trade and influences.
