介绍（中）	这幅版画是为了纪念这位前美国总统访问东京（江户在 1868 年天皇将其作为住所时更名为东京）以及他参加歌舞伎表演而委托的。像明治时代执行的许多版画一样，这幅版画是日本新闻摄影的一种。因此，执行速度和复印数量是质量普遍下降的部分原因，这在配色和油漆应用不均匀方面最为明显。版画的设置可以确定为位于银座区的东京新西式大街，由英国建筑师托马斯·沃特斯设计。在选择环境时，国一香和国定三世有意识地庆祝现代主义在日本的到来。同样，艺术家们通过重复日本新采用的国旗和国旗的鲜艳红色中心图案所创造的节奏，大胆地表达了明治时代强烈的民族主义情绪。七位歌舞伎演员的大胆剪影，其中一位戴着西方圆顶礼帽，在观看格兰特的剪影游行时占据了主导地位。根据朱莉娅·米奇（Julia Meech）的说法，演员剪影的戏剧性强调让人想起日本皮影戏的传统，四名小组成员的手势强化了这一前提。
介绍（英）	This print was commissioned to commemorate the former American president's visit to Tokyo (Edo was renamed Tokyo when the emperor made it his residence in 1868) and his attendance at a Kabuki performance. Like many prints executed during the Meiji era, this one acted as a type of Japanese photojournalism. As such, the speed with which it was executed and the number of copies made are partly responsible for the general decline in quality most noticeable in the color registration and uneven paint application. The setting of the print can be identified as Tokyo's new Western-style Main Street located in the Ginza district and designed by the English architect Thomas Waters. In their choice of setting, Kunichika and Kunisada III consciously celebrate the advent of modernism in Japan. Likewise, the artists made a bold statement of the Meiji era's strong nationalistic sentiment by the repetition of Japan's newly adopted flag and by the rhythms created by the pattern of the flags' brillian red centers. The bold silhouettes of hte seven Kabuki actors, one of whom wears a Western bowler hat, dominate the print as they watch Grant's silhouetted procession. According to Julia Meech, the dramatic emphasis of the actors' silhouettes recalls the tradition of Japanese shadow theater, a premise strengthened by the hand gestures made by four group members.
