The Central Bank of Western India was an important bank because it related to Japan, America
and India. The high value of $25 was significant as it was issued during a time of great
turbulence in Japan.
During this period there were a number of attempts by western powers to establish relations
with Japan. In 1852 the USA government decided to initiate trade relations with Japan and
was prepared to use force if negotiation failed. Commander Matthew Perry was sent on a
mission with three steam ships, the Mississippi, Sarotogo and Plymouth along with a flag
ship named Susquehanna. They sailed to Japan on 8th July 1853 entering Edo Bay they anchored
at a distance of 1 kilometer from Uraga City but the Japanese Shogun declined to meet the
delegation of commander Perry. After threatening the Japanese government they landed with
300 men and transmitted a message from U.S. President Fillmore to the representatives of
shogun.
It took more than 6 month of consideration by the Japanese government and Perry’s treaty of
friendship was signed by Japan on March 31st of 1854, opening Japanese ports for U.S. trade.
Nagasaki and Hakodate were the first ports used followed later by Yokohama. Yokohama became
a main port and transit point for goods into Japan, China and the other countries in the
region.
During this period the British Crown cooperated with the Americans as the Japanese started
building their fleet after lifting a ban for the construction of large ships. They purchased
many ships guns and arms from the Dutch to counter the American ships.
In this new environment, traders from Western India sailed from the ports of Surat and
Bombay.
