The Shimabara Rebellion was a peasant and samurai uprising in the Shimabara Domain of Kyushu, Japan, which occurred from 17 December 1637 to 15 April 1638 during the early Tokugawa shogunate.[1]
A group of local samurai and peasants rebelled against the shogunate due to their discontent over daimyō Matsukura Katsuie's policies that led to over-taxation and famine. The alliance took over the abandoned Hara Castle[1] and held off attempts by Tokugawa forces to pacify them for months, defeating many ninja and spies before reinforcements finally managed to stave off the rebellion.[2]
The shogunate later publicly declared the uprising as a result of foreign interference orchestrated by European Christian powers who supported the peasants. The government then shuttered its international trade, maintaining relations with only a few countries, such as China and Korea, at specific ports. The only Europeans they still traded with were Dutch Empire nationals, who continued at the artificial island of Dejima off the coast of Nagasaki.[2]
