CHAPTER XIII ATTEMPTS TO OPEN JAPAN TO TRADE While the opening of Japan by Commodore Perry in 1854 came as a direct result of American trade expansion, the causes which produced it were not so simple as those which led to the Cushing Mission. In 1844 American rela- tions with the Far East were almost exclusively with China; in 1853 they were not only with China but also with the entire North ...Pacific Ocean. Japan and Early Pacific Trade The rapid growth of the Northwest Coast fur trade had brought Japan for a few years within the interest of Ameri- cans, yet without leading to any definite results. The Lady Washington (Captain Kendrick) and the Grace (Captain Douglas) visited a southern port of Japan in 1791 in an effort to dispose of sea-otter peltries, on their way to Canton, but the Japanese had refused to trade with them. This visit and refusal made so little impression that they were almost immediately forgotten by Americans, few of whom aside from the crews of the vessels appear to have known of it.^ In 1807 the Eclipse of Boston, chartered by the Russian- American Company at Canton for Kamchatka and the Northwest Coast, and carrying several British sailors who had been induced to desert from Company ships at Wham- poa, visited Nagasaki and was peacefully captured by the Japanese, supplied freely with water and permitted to de- part.
