Entrance of the simoda harbour

Entrance of the simoda harbour

Shimoda is known as a port opened to foreigners at the end of the Edo era. The Shogunate appointed a Shimoda Bugyo (magistrate) there in 1853, when the US fleet came to Uraga and demanded that ports be opened for trade. The Shogunate ordered them to enter Shimoda Harbour. It was also here that Perry landed in 1854. Shimoda was blessed with the features of a good natural harbor. The first US Consulate was opened here, the scene of a diplomatic drama between the US and Japan.==Date:unknown, Place:Shimoda, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number19‐29‐0]

      The Moji Harbour

      Moji is one of the entrance ports to Kyushu, facing the Kanmon channel and Shubo nada. It flourished as an important crossroad for transportation from the olden days, but during the Edo, it was only a lonely village. Development began with the establishment of the Port Building Company in 1889. This photo is believed to be that of the initial stages of the development of the port.==Date:unknown, Place:Moji, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number8‐33‐0]
