Yes- a expedition by Commodore Matthew Perry opened trade with Japan while Pierce was President. The expedition departed under Fillmore.
The 1853 American imperial expedition that opened Japan was commanded by Commodore Matthew Perry. He led a fleet of four warships to Japan, aiming to establish diplomatic relations and secure trade agreements. Perry's arrival prompted Japan to end its isolationist policies, ultimately leading to the signing of the Treaty of Kanagawa in 1854.

That would be Commodore Perry.
Commodore Matthew C. Perry's expedition to Japan in 1853-1854 was significant because it marked the end of Japan's 200-year policy of isolation. His arrival with a fleet of U.S. warships pressured the Japanese government to open its ports to American trade, leading to the Treaty of Kanagawa in 1854. This event initiated Japan's integration into the global economy and set the stage for its rapid modernization during the Meiji Restoration. Perry's mission also underscored the expanding influence of Western powers in Asia during the 19th century.

Commodore Matthew Perry was sent to Japan in 1852 with four warships to open up communications with the Japanese.
Admiral Matthew C. Perry is known for opening Japan to trade with the United States. This opening took at least two trips to Japan. In addition, credit must be given to US President Millard Fillmore who authorized Perry's expedition.
Matthew Perry's journey to Japan in 1853 had a profound impact on U.S.-Japan relations and Japan's subsequent modernization. His arrival with a fleet of "black ships" forced Japan to open its ports to American trade after centuries of isolation. This event marked the beginning of the end for Japan's sakoku policy, leading to increased foreign influence and eventually sparking the Meiji Restoration, which transformed Japan into a modern industrialized nation. Perry's expedition thus set the stage for significant political and social changes in Japan.
