The Barbarian And The Geisha.

Townsend Harris (John Wayne) is sent by President Pierce to serve as the first U.S. Consul-General to Japan, following the treaty written by Commodore Matthew Perry. The Japanese governor refuses to accept his credentials, denying him any official status, due to a conflict between interpretations of the treaty terms. Harris is permitted to remain in Shimoda, but only as a private citizen, with no recognition of his official status.
