The seclusion of Japan began to end with the arrival of Commodore Perry in 1853. The Harris Treaty (Treaty of Amity and Commerce) in 1858, was the culmination of Perry's arrival. This resulted in the opening of Japan to international trade.
Commodore Matthew Perry was famous for opening the ports of Japan in 1854. His brother was Oliver Perry who was famous for the Battle of Lake Erie for being the Commander of the American Side.
Also called Perry Convention (March 31, 1854), Japan's first treaty with a Western nation. Concluded by representatives of the United States and Japan at Kanagawa (now part of Yokohama), it marked the end of Japan's period of seclusion (1639-1854). The treaty was signed as a result of pressure from U.S. Commodore Matthew C. Perry, who sailed into Tokyo Bay with a fleet of warships in July 1853 and demanded that the Japanese open their ports to U.S. ships for supplies. Perry then left Japan in order to give the government a few months to consider its decision. When he returned in February 1854, the Japanese, aware that none of their armaments was a match for Perry's warships, agreed to admit U.S. ships to the ports of Shimoda and Hakodate and to accept a U.S. consul at Shimoda. The Treaty of Kanagawa was the first of the treaties signed between Japan and other Western countries in the 19th century.
Because Matthew Perry unlike other Perry's was amazing when it cam to speaking with asians. Most in his time would use racial slurs such as "wide eyed ninja" or "short limbed noodle eater" but Perry had a way with words, and a way with his hands. He slept his way through the Japanese ranks, even with men, until he finally blackmailed the shogun into letting America trade with Japan. Thus ends the tale of Matthew Perry, he died a horrible death from all of the STD's he aquired on his journey.

The Treaty of Kanagawa opened Japanese ports to foreign trade.
Because of Perry's threats and show of force, Japan was pressured to allow trade with the United States through the establishment of a treaty called the Convention of Kanagawa.
This was the treaty of Kanagawa except it didn't open Japan to trade. It was only to have a place to rest and get supplies while crossing the ocean.
