Perī Uraga raikō kawaraban [manuscript]
Rare Books
Manuscript copy of a black and white kawaraban or news-sheet showing the defenses around Edo Bay against Commodore Perry's arrival in 1853. The manuscript closely resembles an exisiting karwaraban printed around 1853, but this copy lacks any woodgrain/imprinting physical evidence. Additionally, large flat areas are rendered in multiple colors of ink and brushstrokes and several inscriptions appear to be written and not cut/impressed. The names of the commanding lords, their location and numbers along with family crests and banners are listed. According to the text, 468.897 troops were mobilised to defend Edo. Seven American ships are illustrated in the bay. The main ship is illustrated in detail, showing crew in the riggings, lookouts and smoke billowing from its funnels. An American sailor is also depicted in detail.
