Some time ago I was reading an interesting article about Nagasaki, Japan, which suffered a considerable influence from Western powers, mainly from Portugal. This made me have some thoughts on the possibility of turning the whole island of Kyushu (were Nagasaki is placed at) sort of an 'oversea department' of Portugal just as were, back in past, places like Brazil, Angola, Moçambique and other current-day independent territories.
How could we have an 'europeanized' Kyushu, strong and independent enough to defy/avert Sakoku? Would it ever be possible to have Portuguese nobility/royalty and local Japanese nobility to marry, in order to strengthen ties between them? How would develop the Portuguese overseas dominance of Eastern trading?
