Today in the Shibakoen section of [[Tokyo]], a tree still stands that Grant planted during his stay. In 1879, the [[Meiji period|Meiji]] government of Japan announced the annexation of the [[Ryukyu Islands]]. [[China]] objected, and Grant was asked to arbitrate the matter. He decided that Japan's claim to the islands was stronger and ruled in Japan's favor.
