There may well be a few isolated and independent traders plying the seas in (probably) wind powered vessels, but little organised activity.

Even if they pulled out the exchange relatively intact, or where they had been hit hard enough where the situation was like in the US in the 1998-1999 where many military leaders found themselves running the military affairs and local civil affairs.
Japan would need to get raw materials.
Japan in one of the more active places for earth quakes. The recent quake and other in the past 10 or so years. Think if they had happen when Japan resources were limited. It would be very much more devastating to the moral of the people.
Think of something like Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita hitting the Gulf Coast in post-TDM.
It would be enough for what little civil order was left to be tipped beyond the tipping point and would take many years to restore anything that would resemble any type of civil order. Ugh, sudden thoughts of Mayor of New Orleans (if it wasn't already destroyed, don't have the target list here in front of me) and the LA Governor having their pissing match in post-TDM LA. Who would they blame then.
