"Black Ships" refers to the Western ships that arrived in Japan during the mid-19th century, notably the American naval fleet led by Commodore Matthew Perry in 1853. These ships were significant because they marked the end of Japan's isolationist policy, known as sakoku, and led to the signing of the Treaty of Kanagawa in 1854, which opened Japanese ports to American trade. The term "black ships" originated from the blackened hulls of these vessels and symbolizes the broader impact of Western Imperialism in Japan.
