Commentary:
出島 (
Hiragana: でじま
Romaji: De-ji-ma) = Dejima Island is an artificial island built by
Edo Government in 1636 to promote Western trade exclusively under the isolation policy.
Dejima is located on the western edge of
Kyuushuu.
Dejima is considered the precursor to the modern-day SEZ (Special Economic Zone).
Kanji 出 means "Go Out," and Kanji 島 means "Island." Therefore, 出島 translates into "Gateway Island," literally.
