Foreign settlement

Foreign traders in the Yokohama foreign settlement

A foreign settlement (Japanese:外国人居留地, pronounced "Gaikokujin kyoryūchi") was a special area in a treaty port, designated by the Japanese government in the second half of the nineteenth century, to allow foreigners to live and work.

After the visits of Commodore Perry in 1853 and 1854, Japan entered a period of rapid social and economic transition from a closed, feudalistic society to a more open, modern trading nation state. Japan first opened two ports to foreign trade, Shimoda and Hakodate after siging the Convention of Kanagawa with the United States in 1854. It then designated five more treaty ports, Yokohama, Kobe, Nagasaki, Osaka, and Niigata, in 1858 with the Treaty of Amity and Commerce.
