- Abstract
- Elephant folio of the American troops landing in Gori-hama, a small village a mile south of Uraga. In the foreground, Japanese samurai stand. The samurai wear a jingasa [lacquered wooden helmet], an haori [short loose jacket] with mon [family crest] marks, and hakama [loose trousers], with two swords on either side of the body. Another group of Japanese officers hold rifles over their left shoulders and lances in their right hands. There is one Japanese government vessel that flies the Imperial flag, white with a central black stripe. In the far left, a group of Japanese officials stand. Fifteen boats left the American squadron, full of officers, marines, and sailors. Two Japanese boats escorted the Americans to shore. The Americans are pictured disembarking from the small boats and lining up on the beach. At the center point of the three lines of American sailors, marines, and band, stand a small group of Japanese officials. One American officer stands apart, behind him two flagbearers, and two young men, and greets the Japanese officials. Japanese officers and soldiers enclose the Americans as they stand across the entire length of the beach. In the background, two of the American steamers are anchored at the top of the bay.
