During the Edo period, China remained an important trading partner for Japan, as Japan largely relied on Chinese imports and exports through the port of Nagasaki. While Portugal had previously played an important role in Japan's trade with Europe, they were largely expelled from Japan during the early years of the Edo period. Korea also had some trade relations with Japan during this time, but it was not as significant as Japan's trade with China. Mongolia, on the other hand, did not have any significant trading relations with Japan during the Edo period.
