First Audience of a British Minister with the Tycoon of Japan: A Historical Moment in Anglo-Japanese Diplomacy This sketch, titled "First audience of a British minister with the tycoon of Japan at Jeddo," offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in Anglo-Japanese diplomatic history. The meeting took place on the morning of August 25, 1860, at 9am, in the residence of the Tycoon, or shogun, of Japan, in the city of Jeddo, now known as Yeddo. The occasion marked the first official audience between a British representative and the Japanese ruler since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two nations. In the image, Sir Rutherford Alcock, Her Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary, stands before the Tycoon, delivering a letter from Queen Victoria herself. The Queen's message conveyed her sincere desire to cultivate friendly relations between the United Kingdom and Japan. The Tycoon, dressed in his formal attire, listens intently, surrounded by his courtiers. This meeting held significant importance as it paved the way for further diplomatic exchanges and cultural interactions between the two nations. The encounter marked the beginning of a new era in Anglo-Japanese relations, which would eventually lead to the signing of the Treaty of Amity and Commerce in 1854, opening Japan to the world and fostering economic and cultural ties with the West. The sketch, created by S.J. Gowan, provides a fascinating insight into the intricacies of diplomacy during the late 19th century. The image captures the formalities and protocols of the time, offering a glimpse into the rich history of Anglo-Japanese relations.
