Was that the samurai that sent a fax to Abraham Lincoln?

Is that an event that occured?

Nope, not really, it's another meme I've seen that this reminded me of. Same kind of premise, look at all these dates that overlap kind of thing. Fax machine invented, samurai still a thing, Lincoln still a thing, therefore samurai sent fax to Lincoln.

Since this one brought up the samurai too, I just thought it would be funny to merge them together and have the samurai in this party be that same one that supposedly sent the fax.

don't think so but it could have. the fax machine was patented in 1843, 22 years before Lincoln was shot, although the first commercial service was started up the same year he died.
