Sakoku (鎖国, (literally "closed country" but meaning "period of national isolation") was the foreign relations policy of Japan under which no foreigner could enter nor could any Japanese leave the country on penalty of death. The policy was enacted by the Tokugawa shogunate under Tokugawa Iemitsu through a number of edicts and policies from 1633–39 and remained in effect until 1853 with the arrival of the Black Ships of Commodore Matthew Perry and the forcible opening of Japan to Western trade. It was still illegal to leave Japan until the Meiji Restoration (1868). It was preceded by an era commonly referred to as Sengoku, or the Warring States period of Japanese history.
The term Sakoku originates from the manuscript work Sakoku-ron (「鎖国論」) written by Japanese astronomer and translator Shizuki Tadao (ja:志筑忠雄) in 1801. Shizuki invented the word while translating the works of the 17th-century German traveller Engelbert Kaempfer concerning Japan.
Japan was not completely isolated under the sakoku policy. It was a system in which strict regulations were applied to commerce and foreign relations by the shogunate, and by certain feudal domains (han). The policy stated that the only European influence permitted was the Dutch factory at Dejima in Nagasaki. Trade with China was also handled at Nagasaki. Trade with Korea was limited to the Tsushima Domain (today part of Nagasaki Prefecture). Trade with the Ainu people was limited to the Matsumae Domain in Hokkaidō, and trade with the Ryūkyū Kingdom took place in Satsuma Domain (present-day Kagoshima Prefecture). Apart from these direct commercial contacts in peripheral provinces, trading countries sent regular missions to the shogun in Edo.

In an alternate 21st century, the robotics industry undergoes a period of rapid advancement worldwide. By the year 2050, Japan has firmly established itself as the leader in robotic technology and manufacture with Daiwa Heavy Industries. As the technology evolves to include robotic enhancements to the human body, the blurring of the line between man and machine triggers a sudden shift in world opinion. In response, the U.N. passes a unilateral ban of further research and development on robotics in 2067. Japan fiercely objects to this ban, but is unable to prevent its passage. In protest, Japan withdrew from international politics and chose to pursue a policy of high-tech national isolation. While only trade continues, Japan disappears from the world scene. Ten years later, a series of biz...

И вот правительство США посылает в Японию спецподразделение SWORD под командованием женщины по имени Vexille.

"Nicolas and Alberto, two young foreigners in Japan that lead lonely and unsatisfying lives, come across an ancient evil. The men are given a cryptic box, which can lead to their redemption or destruction, provided that they escape its madness. Nicolas becomes lost within a forest of torii and Alberto within infinite office spaces, symbols of their own existences. Both young men must confront not only their nightmares, but also a darkly seductive entity, if they are to have a chance to give a new direction to their old lives."
't Is lange zo slim nie meer, nou en dan, dan komp 't weer
Dan denk ik opiens an joe en ik kan der schienbar niks an doen
Want ik kan joe dan zowat heuren praoten en a'k goed kiek kan ik joe zien
't Is lange zo slim nie meer, absoluut, misschien
't Is lange nie hoe ik ben, mar ik kun der nie umhen
't Is aordig lang duuster west, ok al deu ik wel mien best
Um de wolken weg te denken um de zunne weer 's te zien
't Giet misschien wel beter zo, absoluut, misschien
Absoluut 't giet wel over, misschien duurt 't langer dan'k had dacht
En dat ha'k niet dacht
't Is lange zo slim nie meer, daor komp 't wel op neer
T'weud ok wel neudig tied, 't Is mar goed da'k beter weer
Want achter 'n schip met zoete appels ku'j 't lucht zowat nie meer zien
Mar zolfs de zwartste wolken weijen weg, absoluut, misschien
