These are the experiences of American sailor, minister and professor John Smith Sewall (1830-1911) aboard the warship U.S.Saratoga, later one of the "Black Ships" of Commodore Matthew Perry's Squadron sent to Japan (1853-1854).

With the Treaty of Kanagawa, Perry set in motion the process whereby Western ideas and commerce eventually penetrated Japan..
