Harris is testing a previous open-door agreement between the two nations, although Japan has no intention of going through with it. While international diplomacy moves at a snail's pace, a nobleman "gives" Harris a geisha, Okichi, to ease his boredom. Harris and Okichi develop a bond and she saves him from an assassination attempt.
