Commodore Perry in the Land of the Shogun by Rhoda Blumberg

This is an excellent and easy to understand narrative about the opening up of Japan and Commodore Perry's role in that process. The details are interesting and engaging and the book is well researched and illustrated with photos and art from the time.

I hope to find an equally excellent source on the Meiji period.
