This woodblock print, created in 1894 by Nakamura Shûkô, depicts a dramatic scene from the First Sino-Japanese War. The artist masterfully captures the chaos and tension of the battle, with Japanese soldiers firing upon their Chinese counterparts. The use of bold lines and vibrant colors creates a sense of immediacy, drawing the viewer into the heart of the conflict. This print is a powerful example of the role that art can play in documenting historical events and reflecting societal anxieties. The print's title "De Genzan soldaten in opmars naar Pyongyang en de hevige strijd tussen Japanse en Chinese troepen" further highlights the historical context of the artwork and the importance of this conflict.
