Historian [[Robert Hellyer]] has suggested that the shogunate's rejection of Laxman's requests to trade may have been informed in part by concerns about the financial costs of opening trade relations with a new partner. Laxman's arrival came only two to three years after policies had been put into place to reduce the financial costs to the shogunate of relations with [[Joseon]] Korea and the [[Dutch East India Company]].<ref>Hellyer, 111.</ref>
