(2/3) Having delivered a letter from the President of the USA to the Japanese Shogunate, the black ships left with the promise to return the next Spring. Immediate measures to improve the defense of Edo (present-day Tokyo) carried out. Huge chunks of land were torn from the hillside of Gotenyama, one of the most famous cherry blossom viewing sites in Edo, and used to fill in fortified battlements known as 'daiba' in Tokyo Bay. This woodblock print from Hiroshige's '100 Famous Views of Edo' depicts Gotenyama post-pillage - the destruction of a natural scene of beauty by modern technology was one of the first of its kind in an artwork. (there are actually 119 images in Hiroshige's book - that's why I chose 119 photos for my book as despite over a century time difference we share some of the same themes and places). Gotenyama is in present-day Shinagawa, look it up in google maps to see how much of Tokyo has been reclaimed from the sea since then. .
