The idea

Europeans reached Japan as daimyos fought to unify it; guns and converts followed. In sixteen oh three the shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu banned Christianity and the Iberians. The Ming forbade foreign trade, then permitted it for revenue; famine ended them in sixteen forty-four.

In practice

The Manchu Qing reasserting Confucian values while trading with Europe.

Where people slip

Korea's Joseon copied the Confucian model.
