Poetry and Historic Ledger on Perry Expedition
A miscellany piece blends a reflective poem on memory and loss with a historical narrative from the North China Mail about Commodore Perry's expedition to Japan. It recounts ships entering Uraga Bay, Japanese cautions, diplomatic exchanges, and the staggered tempo of contact, including receptions for Perry and the exchange of letters before tentative talks and further exploration.
