We didn't attack them. Adm. Perry floated his battleship into Tokyo Harbour to intimidate them into negotiating a treaty. The japs had been acting like pirates attacking our ships and killing/imprisoning our sailors. Perry basically scared the shite out of them. And it worked too but it also gave rise to Japanese militarism. They realized they needed a bad arse military if they didn't want to be pushed around. Then they started doing the pushing. 90 yrs later Pearl Harbor
That battleship fired shells. Yes, we attacked them.
The Japanese attacked our merchant ships because they were trespassing in Japanese waters.
