A silk embroidery panel that depicts an American eagle perched on the liberty shield, with laurel branches and shooting arrows under the feet and flanked by four American flags and banners on the back. and the motto "E. Pluribus Unum" is embroidered on a fluttering ribbon
.In 1854, after Matthew C. Perry, the commodore of the United States Navy Perry, succeed in the opening of Japan to the West following the Convention of Kanagawa, Japan ended its isolation and closure to the west for the previous centuries. Seaports such as Nagasaki and Yokohama opened to the trades and foreign visitors such as sailors, businessmen and missionaries. These type of embroideries were produced as "cruise souvenir" to meet the demand of these new clients, typically the sailors from Britain and America. Outwardly American in subject manner, the techniques and methods were traditional Japanese and the work displays superb craftsmanship. Interestingly, these silk panels provide a historical snapshot of the contemporary events in America at the time
