Hokuy\u014d Homma (1822\u201368), also known as Gunbei, was a scholar of Western Studies during the late Edo period, and a student of the famed ukiyo-e artist Hokusai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This painting was made on the 10th of July 1853, shortly after Commodore Matthew Perry\u2019s fleet from Washington entered the port of Uraga at the entrance to Edo Bay. The preliminary sketch was done in Uraga, and the painting was completed after returning to Edo. Although there are many paintings and prints depicting this historic event, this drawing is the only one to realistically observe and depict Perry\u2019s fleet on its first arrival at Uraga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
