In 19th-century Edo -- as Tokyo was then known -- waterways were crucial. In 1853, 4 US warships sailed into Edo Bay, causing immediate panic.

We learn about military training drills, major construction projects, and the contrasting needs of citizens and national security. Analyzing these woodblock prints also offers hints on how to face modern-day issues.
