"Hoe onze strijdkrachten de Chinese soldaten te Pyongyang verslaan." is a woodblock print by Adachi Ginkō, a renowned Japanese artist, depicting the victorious Japanese forces in the Battle of Pyongyang during the First Sino-Japanese War. The scene features Japanese soldiers on horseback, their uniforms and weaponry meticulously detailed, charging towards a retreating Chinese force engulfed in smoke and clouds. This print, housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the dynamic and expressive style of ukiyo-e woodblock printing and reflects the nationalistic fervor prevalent in Japan during this period of rapid modernization and imperial expansion.
