| This engraving shows president Buchanan welcoming Japanese emissaries to the White House in 1860. This significant event was the result of former President Millard Fillmore’s efforts to open commerce with Japan in 1852. Japan had been closed to relations with nearly all foreign powers for more than 200 years. | ||||||
