Amity Yokohama Open seminar No.1
TItle : Japan and U.S relationship after Relationship after the visit of United States
Commodore Perry

TIME and Date :: on 28th March, 2003, from 14;00 to 16;00

Speech-summary
This year marks the 150th anniversary of the visit of United States Commodore Mathew C. Perry and his squadron of black ships to Uraga.

Westerners, such as T.S. Eliot, have noted that we do not know much about the future.

The results of this visit, promoted by President Franklin Pierce’s concern for whalers stranded in Japan, and, ostensibly to open trade, could not have been foreseen at that time.

I wish to consider the political, technological, and economic impacts on Japan, of the visit, from the American perspective.
