During the Edo period, the formation of the Japanese spirit, the emergence of the national Japanese idea, the development of the economy and the bureaucracy took place. The Edo period is the golden age of literature and Japanese poetry, Matsuo Basho is the most prominent representative of the poetry of both the Edo period and Japanese poetry in general. As a result of the sakoku self-isolation policy, for almost the entire Edo period, the country was behind the Iron Curtain, without trading or communicating with other countries (a rare exception is China and the Netherlands).
