Summary[edit]

Description The U.S. Navy Seventh Fleet guided missile destroyer USS Mahan (DLG-11) rides at anchor in Shimoda, Shizuoka Prefecture (Japan), during a festival commemorating Commodore Perry’s historic visit which helped open trade routes between U.S. and Far East countries. During the Bakumatsu period, Shimoda port was opened to American trade under the conditions of the Convention of Kanagawa, negotiated by Commodore Matthew Perry and signed on 31 March 1854. Shimoda was also the site of Yoshida Shōin's unsuccessful attempt to board Perry's 'black ships' in 1854. The first American Consulate in Japan was opened at the temple of Gyokusen-ji under Consul General Townsend Harris. Harris negotiated the Treaty of Amity and Commerce between the two countries, which was signed at nearby Ryōsen-ji in 1858.
