EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Matthew Calbraith Perry, an influential American naval officer from the 19th century. The image is a Japanese woodcut created around 1853 during Perry's historic expedition to Japan. As captain of the US Navy, Perry played a pivotal role in opening up diplomatic relations between the United States and Japan. In this depiction, Perry is portrayed as a distinguished visitor in traditional Japanese attire, reflecting the cultural exchange that took place during his visit. The woodcut beautifully captures his commanding presence and highlights the significance of his mission. Perry's expedition marked a turning point in Japan's isolationist policy known as sakoku, leading to increased trade and interaction with foreign nations. His efforts paved the way for modernization and Western influence in Japan during the Edo period. As an accomplished admiral and commander, Matthew Calbraith Perry left an indelible mark on history through his diplomatic achievements. This print serves as a reminder of his instrumental role in shaping international relations between America and Japan during this transformative era.
