In 1852 President Millard Fillmore sent Commodore Matthew C. Perry with a fleet of warships to Japan. He then gave them letters requesting free trade then withdrew. He returned in February 1854. Perry then persuaded the Japanese to open its ports by combining bluster and grace. The Japanese signed the Treaty of Kanagawa on March 31, 1854 and trade was opened. Info obtained from the AmericanPageant 13th edition page 404.
a shorter answer would be that--
Japan welcomed European trade to take place since they were isolated for years and now Europeans introduced fascinating new technologies and ideas to Japan.

∙ 11y agoJapan has had close historical ties with Europe. This is because Japan adopted Europe's Western customs in order to modernize. This included culture, clothing, religion, etc. Also, there are many major European languages in Japan ranging from English to Portuguese to German. Japanese ports were also open to its new friend, Europe.
