Description: Background to the Channel 4 Millennium Series ‘The Day the World Took Off’, shown in 2000. With thanks to Windfall Films.

For a long period, from the early seventeenth century onwards, Japan kept out all foreign traders. Only on the tiny island of Desima (Nagasaki), where this is filmed, were Dutch and other traders allowed to live and offer their wares.
