    <mods:abstract>Elephant folio of the American second landing in Japan. In the background, the entire American squadron is visible. The American squadron consisted of nine ships, three steamers: Powhatan, Susqehanna, Mississippi and six sailing vessels: Macedonia, Vandalia, Saratoga, Southhampton, Lexington, and Supply. Boats holding American officers, marines, sailors, and the band approach the shore. There is one distinctive Japanese vessel to the left of the squadron. On the left could possibly be the Treaty House where the diplomatic relations would produce the Treaty of Kanagawa on March 31. The color red is ubiquitous; one flag is white with a central red stripe, another flag is white with a central red design, and the tassel flags are red. Japanese officers wear jingasa [lacquered wooden helmet], an haori [short loose jacket] with mon [family crest] marks, hakama [loose trousers], and two swords on either side of the body. Other Japanese officials wear an haori, and hakama, with their hair tied and pulled front over their semi bald scalp. American officers are lined up and stand attention, for the reception of Commodore Perry. In the center, a dog chases another dog. </mods:abstract>
