An exhibition tracing the relationship between Japan and the UK from the seventeenth to the early twentieth centuries, using the Elgin mission and the treaty of Edo as the starting-point for an exploration of the ways in which Japan changed Britain and Britain changed Japan.
A copy of the 1858 Anglo-Japanese Treaty of Amity and Commerce, kindly presented to H.E. Ambassador Ebihara by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office at the reception held to mark 150 years of Japan-UK diplomatic ties on 16 September 2008, is on display, along with many other important artefacts, ceramics and prints from the period.
