Journey to Yeddo and the 1853 Japanese visit unfolds
The narrator describes the long voyage to Yeddo, the ceremonial entry through gates, and the grand reception by Japanese rulers. He details terraces, bridges, and audiences with the Prince of Sinano, the Prince of Tamba, and the Emperor’s officials, noting breeches as rank, multi-tiered banquets, silk robes, and a foreign flag carried through the city. He recounts watching Fuji Yama, resting in temple lodgings, and the strict, silent crowds along the route. The account covers health setbacks, imperial concern, and continuing travels around Simoda and Yeddo.
