R A R E . *** **** *** . . A STUNNING COLOR-PRINTED COLLOTYPE PHOTO POSTCARD . . . WITH TWO GILT IMAGES: COMMODORE PERRY & II TARO NAOSUKE . . . CELEBRATING THE CENTENNIAL 1859-1959 * This obscure postcard illustrated the two main people involved in the historic opening of Japan: Commodore Perry & Minister Ii Taro Naosuke, in embossed gilt. . The background is a color rendering of Yokohama harbor, with Honmoku at the upper part, Yokohama and Kanagawa at the bottom foreground. . This postcard was stamped on Meiji 42nd year [1909]. July 1st, using the "Jubilee Of Opening of Yokohama Port," with a postal cancel on a 1 1/3 sen stamp. . An obscure and historical item. . *** THE HISTORIC SETTING: . Townsend Harris the first American Ambassador to Japan, convinced Chief Councilor Lord Hotta Masayoshi of the necessity of signing the Treaty of Kanagawa, but Emperor Komei remained firmly committed to excluding the West. After Shogun Tokugawa Iesada's sudden death in early 1858, Senior Minister Ii Tairo] Naosuke [1815-1860] signed the American treaty on July 29, 1858, and undermined the position of Japan's strong anti-Western Daimyo. . * This RARE and lovely and obscure color collotype postcard celebrates that historic day, June 2, 1859. When Japan entered into its first treaty with America, thus sealing its fate forever and opening the doors of change. . * Townsend Harris, settled into his quarters in Edo, the hub of the Japanese universe, with high hopes of concluding a new treaty with Japan. While in Shimoda, Harris had heard sketchy reports about the political turmoil in Edo. Soon after his arrival in the capital however, he began to realize just how bad things had become among the politically active daimyo. Chief Councilor Abe Masahiro's decision to invite comments from the daimyo on the proper response to Commodore Perry's demands brought all the building tension and uncertainty about the future to the surface. With popular sentiment running strongly against opening the country, there was a growing feeling in Japan that to meet the foreign menace the nation would have to pull itself together more effectively around the Emperor. Many proponents of the "Sonno Joi movement" ["Respect the Emperor, Expel the barbarians"] were young warriors from the lower rungs of the Samurai hierarchy known as "Shishi." . These self-righteous, intolerant young men who were also rabidly anti-Western, extremely dogmatic and disinclined to be reasonable. They saw themselves as the saviors of Japan, the only true patriots. Ruled by strong passions and short tempers, they were convinced that truth was on their side and those who failed to agree with them were self-serving traitors. In effect, the Sshishi were forerunners of the ultra-nationalist extremists of pre-World War II Japan. . *** Color photos are posted to our website. . *** BIBLIOGRAPHY: .

Perry [1794-1858] was an American naval officer, who commanded the expedition that established United States relations with Japan. Born April 10, 1794, in South Kingston, Rhode Island, the brother of Oliver Hazard Perry, he began his naval career as midshipman at the age of 15. He advanced to lieutenant in 1813 and to commander in 1826. He supervised the construction of the first naval steamship, the Fulton, and upon its completion in 1837,he took command with the rank of captain. He was promoted to commodore in 1842. In 1846-47 he commanded the Gulf squadron during the Mexican War. In 1853, Perry was sent to Japan, a country that had been closed to outsiders since the 17th century. . On July 8, Perry led his squadron of four ships into Tokyo Bay & presented representatives of the Emperor with the text of a proposed commercial and friendship treaty. To give the reluctant Japanese court time to consider the offer, he then sailed for China. With an even more powerful fleet, he returned to Japan in February 1854. The treaty, signed on March 31, 1854 provided that humane treatment be extended to sailors shipwrecked in Japanese territory, that U.S. ships be permitted to buy coal in Japan, and that the ports of Shimoda & Hakodate be opened to U. S. commerce. Perry's mission ended Japan's 400 years of self-imposed isolation, a prerequisite for its subsequent development into a modern nation. Perry died in New York City on March 4, 1858. . * The book covers Perry's visit to Taiwan, Okinawa and Japan. . *** Color photos are posted to our website. . *** THE EDITIONS: .

Hardcover. Etat : Good. First edition. First edition, 1856. Large quarto. Good, with some wear at head and heel, and rear gutter at head. A sound, handsome copy with tooled view on boards. Some darkening and chipping at heel. The text is sound, not foxed. A 43 page introduction explaining the mission and methods on Zodiacal Light, followed by 705 pages of star chart plates with 'observations' on the page adjacent. Volume III of Perry's United States Japan Expedition under orders from President Millard Fillmore. Perry's primary goal was to force an end to Japan's 220-year-old policy of isolation and to open Japanese ports to American trade. Following the expedition, Japan's burgeoning trade routes with the world led to the cultural trend of Japonisme, in which aspects of Japanese culture influenced art in Europe and America. Reverend Jones was chosen by Commodore Perry to join as chaplain on his expedition to Japan, serving not only in a ministerial capacity but also as a chronicler of the expedition, amateur naturalist, and astronomer. Zodiacal light is produced by sunlight reflecting off dust particles in the Solar System known as cosmic dust. Consequently, its spectrum is the same as the solar spectrum. The Zodiacal light remains the most prominent unresolved extraterrestrial sky brightness phenomenon, from visible to far infrared.
