 Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Japanese warship Shohei Maru
Shōhei Maru was apparently built using sailship construction manuals from the Netherlands, and some level of hands-on knowledge may have been obtained by occasional observations of foreign vessels roaming the waters of Japan.
Shōhei Maru was then used as a merchandise transport for the development of the northern island of Hokkaidō, where she was wrecked after a storm on 2 March 1870.
Although Shohei Maru represented a return to the building of ocean-going warships on the part of the Bakufu after two centuries of prohibition, Japan had built several western-style sailships in the beginning of the 17th century, such as the galleon San Juan Bautista.
