1854 US-Japan Treaty

New here, may I ask for help finding the Chinese and Dutch versions of the 1854 US-Japan Treaty as well as the Japanese Ratification of the same? I am interested in the titles of Shogun that are used in these documents, in particular Taikun vs. Kunshu.

Thank you very much. I found this out in the meantime and received exemplary help with this request. However, there is now a mystery, which I will post separately--and which the staff there were not able to help me solve. Thank you.
