Geïllustreerd tijdschrift over de Sino-Japanse oorlog - deel 7 1895

This woodblock print, created by Kubota Beisen in 1895, showcases the iconic rising sun flag of Japan against an orange background with white rays radiating outwards. A prominent white chrysanthemum flower, the Imperial Seal of Japan, is featured on the right side of the print, symbolizing the Emperor's power. This artwork is a part of the illustrated journal series "Geïllustreerd tijdschrift over de Sino-Japanse oorlog," published by the Rijksmuseum, documenting the Sino-Japanese War. The print uses vibrant colors and bold graphic elements to convey a sense of national pride and military strength. This piece is a testament to Japanese artistic practices of the late 19th century and the power of visual communication during times of conflict.
