This is real, by the way. Ulysses S. Grant visited Japan in 1879, and this is from a visual biography authored by Kanagaki Robun and illustrated by Kobayashi Eitaku.
Awesome work finding the link!
I just saw the pic and read the date and thought “Fucking neat”
Page 27 kind of looks like the guy on the horse is deflecting a bullet with his saber.
It would be hilarious if the anime trope of swordsman deflecting bullets with fancy bladework was based on a myth that Americans were doing that during the civil war.
On the cover page (1, to right corner) the American flags are hung upside down
