ORIENTAL BANK:three sorts of business for all bank customers,
Fortunately the Oriental Bank Corporation advertised regularly in the local papers, some of which survive giving invaluable details of the business they were prepared to transact Yokohoma.The Oriental Bank advetisements suggest that western banking made available to their customers three sorts of business. The first, and probably most important as well as largest, business was foreign exchange services, which were still beyond the capacities of ryogae.The Oriental Bank could grant drafts not exceeding six months' sight on London and those on demand on Scotland and Ireland. In the case of the Oriental Bank,drafts on New Zealand,San Francisco,New York and Paris were also available through its branches,agencies and correspondents. The Bank also issued on behalf of customers circular notes for the use of travellers or, probably something between the letter of credit and traveller's cheque, which were negotiable in any city of importance throughout the world.The foreign exchange services were used by the bakufu missions abroad.
The rest of the business wa accepting deposits and granting advances. The Oriental Bank offered two types of deposits current and fixed (page 18) accounts. Neither interest nor commission was charged on current accounts. The term of fixed account was twelve months and the holder of the account was given the receipt. For the deposit customer, the Bank gave service of collecting papers payable inYokohoma.There were two methods of advances. The Bank discounted bills,notes and other negotiable papers payable in Yokohoma, which had to have at least two approved names on them. Another method was advances granted on bullion and non-perishable merchandise.All transactions were effected in Mexico dollars, but there is no evidence from the foreign banks present in Yokohoma before the Restoration of how much business they actually did.There remains no evidence, either, about their business connections with Japanese merchants. As far as Japanese financial arrangements with the foreigners inYokohoma were connected, the bakufu ordered that they would be done exclusively through Mitsui. For western bankers, there would not be any chance of contacting Japanese merchants directly, particularly concerning their domestic demands. Nevertheless, despite these restraints, several of these banks and their staff were destined to play an important role in assisting theearly Meiji administration to understand money and banking matters.

Admiral Perry's expedition to JAPAN

Admiral Perry's expedition brought a camera to Japan in 1853. Admiral Perry of the United States arrived with his warships in Japan in 1853 (after the US informed the Japanese, through the Dutch in 1852 that they would be arriving the next year). Between 1852 and 1853, before Admiral Perry's arrival in Japan, there had been many articles written in American and European newspapers speculating on what effect his arrival would have on potential trade with Japan. The London Times, most notable, wrote a major article on this topic in 1852. Admiral Perry's arrival was not unexpected, as is often mis-published. Admiral Perry's photographer took an estimated 100 photographs in Japan in 1853 and brought these photographs back to America. Sadly, in 1857, the Washington warehouse where the photographs were stored, burnt to the ground and the photographs are said to have been lost. However, before this historically tragic event occurred, etchings of Japan were made from the photographs and published in a special report to Congress in 1856 and 1857. It should be noted that at that time, a method of printing photographs in a book had still not been developed so that all photographs had to be published in etched format. It is this writers belief that it is possible that an original photograph of Admiral Perry's visit to Japan could still exist. Perhaps a member of the expeditions family has one or perhaps a photograph might have been given by Perry to the Japanese delegation
Matthew Perry (1794-1858), American naval officer, who commanded the expedition that established United States relations with Japan. Matthew Calbraith Perry was born on April 10, 1794, in South Kingstown, Rhode Island, the brother of Oliver Hazard Perry. He began his naval career as midshipman at the age of 15; he advanced to lieutenant in 1813 and to commander in 1826. He supervised the construction of the first naval steamship, the Fulton, and upon its completion in 1837 he took command with the rank of captain. He was promoted to commodore in 1842. In 1846-1847 he commanded the Gulf squadron during the Mexican War.

In 1853 Perry was sent on the mission to Japan, a country that had been closed to outsiders since the 17th century. On July 8, he led a squadron of four ships into Tokyo Bay and presented representatives of the emperor with the text of a proposed commercial and friendship treaty. To give the reluctant Japanese court time to consider the offer, he then sailed for China. With an even more powerful fleet, he returned to Tokyo in February 1854. The treaty, signed on March 31, 1854, provided that humane treatment be extended to sailors shipwrecked in Japanese territory, that U.S. ships be permitted to buy coal in Japan, and that the ports of Shimoda and Hakodate be opened to U.S. commerce. Perry's mission ended Japan's isolation, a prerequisite for its subsequent development into a modern nation. Perry died in New York City on March 4, 1858.

The above banknote was issued by the Central Bank of Western India at Yokohama, Japan. It

was printed in London by Batho Sprague and Company and has a handwritten date of 9th

February 1866. The signature on the note was that of J. Morrison and the design contains a

vignette of a woman holding a balance scale, palm trees, cotton bales, jewelry and a

backdrop of hills and sailing ships. The note is cancelled with a rubber stamp.

A bank named BANK OF WESTERN INDIA, which operated during the period of 1842-1845 A.D. was

not related to this issue.

The Central Bank of Western India was an important bank because it related to Japan, America

and India. The high value of $25 was significant as it was issued during a time of great

turbulence in Japan.

During this period there were a number of attempts by western powers to establish relations

with Japan. In 1852 the USA government decided to initiate trade relations with Japan and

was prepared to use force if negotiation failed. Commander Matthew Perry was sent on a

mission with three steam ships, the Mississippi, Sarotogo and Plymouth along with a flag

ship named Susquehanna. They sailed to Japan on 8th July 1853 entering Edo Bay they anchored

at a distance of 1 kilometer from Uraga City but the Japanese Shogun declined to meet the

delegation of commander Perry. After threatening the Japanese government they landed with

300 men and transmitted a message from U.S. President Fillmore to the representatives of

shogun.

It took more than 6 month of consideration by the Japanese government and Perry's treaty of

friendship was signed by Japan on March 31st of 1854, opening Japanese ports for U.S. trade.

Nagasaki and Hakodate were the first ports used followed later by Yokohama. Yokohama became

a main port and transit point for goods into Japan, China and the other countries in the

region.

During this period the British Crown cooperated with the Americans as the Japanese started

building their fleet after lifting a ban for the construction of large ships. They purchased

many ships guns and arms from the Dutch to counter the American ships.

In this new environment, traders from Western India sailed from the ports of Surat and

Bombay. Along with the U.S. traders they agreed to start a bank at Yokohama, Japan under the

name of THE CENTRAL BANK OF WESTERN INDIA with a branch in Hong Kong. These notes are known

to have circulated in Japan and China.
On 4 January 1868 the Shogunate was abolished
At this time most banknotes were issued by Commercial Banks rather than by a Central Bank.

Regulations for banknote issue in nineteenth-century Japan and China were loosely

controlled. The government accepted payments for taxes and fees in banknotes only if from

banks incorporated by Royal Charter or under the Colonial Regulations. This requirement did

not prevent other banks from issuing notes, however, banknotes of denominations below $5

were not allowed without special government permission. This was to prevent banknotes

getting into the hands of poorer people, who would suffer more in the event of a bank

collapse. Three note issuing banks did, in fact, collapse in the nineteenth century, the

Agra and Masterman's Bank, the Commercial Bank Corporation of India and the East during the

global financial crisis of 1866, as well as the Oriental Bank Corporation, one of the main

note issuers in 1884.
