What reason did Perry give for his visit to japan?
After the United States acquired California, it was considered desirable to open trade with the east, in this case Japan.

Therefore Commodore Perry was sent to Japan to intimidate them into opening up, and it worked.

Buddhism first arrived in Japan in the 6th century from the Southern part of the kingdom of Baekje on the Korean peninsula.

What caused japan to end its isolation?
In 1853, Commodore Matthew Perry led warships to Japan. He organized a trade agreement. At this point, even gun powder in Japan was very limited. They had to let Perry ashore or they would risk naval bombings from America. Perry returned to Japan in 1854. This time he brought twice as many ships. Even if Japan didn't want to agree, they would be pressured to. They agreed After this: Japan wanted to industrialize to become a superpower like Great Britain and the USA, which it did. The emperor energetically supported following the Western path of industrialization. The country built its fist railroad line in 1872. Coal production grew from half a million tons in 1875 to more than 21 million tons in 1913. Large, state-supported companies built thousands of factories. And traditional Japanese industries, tea processing and silk production, expanded to give the country unique products to trade. Developing modern industries, such as shipbuilding, made Japan competitive with the West.
