Uraga bugyō
Template:Italic title Script error: No such module "Nihongo". were officials of the Tokugawa shogunate with responsibility for administration of the port of Uraga, which was a port of inspection for Japanese coastal vessels, especially those proceeding to Edo.[1]
This office was created in 1721, and it was held by one or two fudai daimyōs—always two who were appointed concurrently after 1844.[1] Conventional interpretations have construed these Japanese titles as "commissioner" or "overseer" or "governor".[2]
Uraga is both a town and a harbour at the entrance of Tokyo Bay, located on the eastern side of the Miura Peninsula, at the northern end of the Uraga Channel.[3]
Strategic location
Due to its strategic location at the entrance of Edo Bay, Uraga has often been the first point of contact between visiting foreign ships and Japan.[4] In 1853, Commodore Perry lowered the anchor of his ships in front of Uraga.[5] On the return of the Commodore's squadron in 1854, the ships by-passed Uraga to anchor closer to Edo at Kanagawa, which is where the city of Yokohama now stands.[6]
