This dynamic triptych by Umeidō Kokunimasa depicts the Battle of Niuzhuang during the First Sino-Japanese War (1894–95). Japanese cavalry charges forward amid smoke and explosions, while Qing soldiers scatter in disarray. The composition’s sweeping motion, vivid colors, and strong diagonal lines create a powerful sense of movement and triumph. Kokunimasa, a pupil of Toyohara Kunichika, was among the leading illustrators of Meiji war prints (senso-e), merging traditional ukiyo-e design with modern themes of nationalism and technology. His works capture the fervor and optimism of Japan’s emerging modern identity at the end of the nineteenth century.
