Kyushu is located at the southwestern tip of Japan, which is the closest area to the Korean Peninsula and China. About 2000 years ago, Yayoi culture flourished in Kitakyushu area, and rice farming gradually developed. Taizai Prefecture, which was responsible for communication with the mainland in ancient times, is located in Fukuoka Prefecture today, playing the role of national defense, diplomacy and business center. There are many contacts between Ma Haixia and China through the port of Kyushu. After pursuing the closed door policy in the Edo era, the Dutch Pavilion was set up on Nagasaki Island, which was the only window in Japan at that time. Western science and technology were introduced to Japan through Nagasaki, and the "symbolic trade" between Japan and Chinese mainland was also conducted through Nagasaki.
