Commodore Perry in the Land of the Shogun

After reading "Heart of a Samurai" by Margi Preus and "Shipwrecked" by Rhoda Blumberg, I was fascinated and wanted to know more about Manjiro and isolationist Japan in the mid-1800s. This book was in the recommended reading section of Shipwrecked, if I remember correctly.

While it barely mentioned Manjiro, it did supply ample facts about policies, customs, and events surrounding Commodore Perry and the treaties and agreements eventually reached between Japan and the United States. It was a bit dry; for some reason I was expecting this to be told more in narrative form; instead, it was a bit textbooky. But having previously read a great narrative (Heart of a Samurai), my interest was already piqued so I did find this interesting. I especially liked that the appendix included the letter from President Millard Fillmore to the emperor as delivered by Perry, and the reply the Japanese wrote in return.
