ships
I'd like to find out the reason this "Ships which can carry over 500 koku are forbidden to be constructed" was decreed.--Mrg3105 09:33, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * This was part of the kaikin (海禁, maritime restrictions) also known as the "sakoku policy". Basically, it was a combination of two things - (a) the shogunate trying to gain more control over commerce, and (b) the shogunate banning overseas travel - and thus the construction of ships large enough to be capable of such journeys - in order to restrict foreign influences, particularly Catholicism which was seen as a threat to peace and order.
