Deshima, Nagasaki is colored black because it was a independent trading post.

Left - The islet of Deshima was very small.
The Dutch were isolated to the island due to the distrust Japanese authorities had for Europeans.

Above - Japanese coastal wooden cannon built by the daimyōs at the Bakufu's order for Commodore Perry's arrival. 1853–54. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wooden_cannon
Due to Japan's isolation for hundreds of years, while the Europeans and Americans were building ships made out of iron, the Japanese were still new to gun and cannon manufacturing.
That's not to say the Japanese didn't have guns, it's just there were few of them, the good ones were Dutch made, and the remainder were low quality.

Based on what you've read and learned prior in the class, what did the Japanese value the most from trade with Europeans?

They don't show it in the video but barter didn't come first. In actual History gifting came before barter and still exists. Before people bartered for goods they would give other people gifts to show they cared about them or wanted peace.
The difference between gifting and bartering is when you gift you don't expect something specific in return. 
In time people would give each other the same gifts over and over, things people needed, until it became bartering or tribute. They don't mention tribute in the video either! Tribute is being forced to give gifts or be punished.
