Dejima

Fan-shaped artificial island in Nagasaki harbour that was, for two centuries, the only place where Japan touched the West. Built for the Portuguese, handed to the Dutch, and walled off under guard: trade came in, people did not. Nearly everything Japan learned of Europe under sakoku came across this one bridge.
