De hevige strijd om Pyongyang tijdens de Chinees-Japanse Oorlog 1894

"De hevige strijd om Pyongyang tijdens de Chinees-Japanse Oorlog" (The Fierce Battle for Pyongyang during the Sino-Japanese War), created in 1894 by Japanese artist Migita Toshihide, depicts a scene of intense conflict during the First Sino-Japanese War. This woodblock print captures the chaotic and bloody nature of the battle, highlighting the bravery of the Japanese soldiers. The composition showcases the clash between the Japanese army, equipped with modern weapons, and the Qing dynasty forces. The work is a powerful example of the artistic style known as ukiyo-e, which thrived in Japan during the Edo period. The work is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
