Japanese Embassy to the United States (1860) : ウィキペディア英語版
Japanese Embassy to the United States (1860)

The was dispatched in 1860 by the Tokugawa shogunate (bakufu). Its objective was to ratify the new Treaty of Friendship, Commerce, and Navigation between the United States and Japan, in addition to being Japan’s first diplomatic mission to the United States since the 1854 opening of Japan by Commodore Matthew Perry.
Another significant facet of the mission was the bakufu’s dispatch of a Japanese warship, the ''Kanrin Maru'', to accompany the delegation across the Pacific and thereby demonstrate the degree to which Japan had mastered Western navigation techniques and ship technologies barely six years after ending its isolation policy of nearly 250 years.〔The first naval training in Japan had been begun at the Nagasaki Naval Training Center in 1855.〕
==Background==

On January 19, 1860, the ''Kanrin Maru'' set sail from Uraga for San Francisco under the leadership of Captain Katsu Kaishū, with John Manjiro as the official translator, carrying 96 Japanese men and an American officer, John M. Brooke on board. The overall head of the mission was Admiral Kimura Yoshitake (木村喜毅), a high ranking Shogunate official. Fukuzawa Yukichi, the future educator and reformer, but then only a young man eager to see foreign lands, had volunteered his services as an assistant to Admiral Kimura.〔''Bakumatsu—Meiji Furushashin Chō Aizōhan'', p. 20〕〔''Sekai wo Mita Bakumatsu-Ishin no Eiyūtachi'', p.42〕
The Japanese embassy itself traveled aboard a U.S. Navy ship, the USS ''Powhatan'', which the ''Kanrin Maru'' escorted - albeit taking a different route across the Pacific and arriving before the ''Powhatan''. The Japanese embassy was formally composed of three men: Ambassador Shinmi Masaoki (新見正興), Vice-Ambassador Muragaki Norimasa (村垣範正), and Observer Oguri Tadamasa (小栗忠順).〔''Bakumatsu—Meiji Furushashin Chō Aizōhan'', p. 21〕〔''Sekai wo Mita Bakumatsu-Ishin no Eiyūtachi'', pp.30-49〕
