AB - The opening of Japan to the West was compelled by Commodore Perry of the U.S. Navy with the Convention of Kanagawa signed in 1854. The term of "Black Ships(黑船)" symbolized a threat imposed by the Western technology in the 19th century. We approach this historic event from the perspective of 19th century America using the 19th century U.S. newspaper database. We searched the term of "Japan" and "Japanese" from 1853 to 1855 in the title and abstract of news articles and editorials and collected 457 cases.
The contents of the news revealed many interesting facts such as the timing of the news delivery and people's interests in diverse issues. We find that news frequency differs depending on the geography of state and city and chronology of the news reporting. The agenda-setting theory of the communication is applied and we find the shift of the interests in the 19th century US newspapers；the contents analysis shows that the words of expedition, squadron, opening/trade, and culture appear in the chronological order. We also find the regional differences in the news contents. Washington DC and Boston covered more trade and commerce news and Boston has more cultural news related with Japan than the other cities of U.S.
