Description

A Japanese polychrome woodblock print triptych, executed in the Ukiyo-e style, likely dating to the late Meiji period. It vividly depicts a dramatic military event, specifically a train derailment or attack, characteristic of *sensō-e* (war prints) from the Sino-Japanese War. The three separate paper sheets feature bold linework and strong colors. Visible Japanese text includes a prominent title cartouche on the upper left panel, reading “日清戦争戦勝日誌” (Sino-Japanese War Victory Record), along with artist’s seals and additional text blocks.


Condition report:

Generally good, with well-preserved coloration. Minor age-related paper toning and some bleed-through are evident on the reverse.
