The country pursued a policy of isolation. The country had an economy based on agriculture.

Explanation:

The Tokugawa Era was a period of feudalism in Japan from the 1600s to 1893. It was founded by Tokugawa Ieyasu who was crowned as the first Shogun who controlled the whole country. During this period, the emperor was stripped off from all his executive powers and was confined to the capital. The real powers were transferred in the hands of the Shoguns. The country under the Shoguns pursued a policy of isolation and trade was monopolized exclusively by the Shogunate. The Tokugawa era relied solely on its agricultural produce. Position and power of the lords and Shoguns were measured by their agricultural produce. Thus, the whole economy was based on agriculture.
