Description

This triptych is a Japanese woodblock print, consistent with the *ukiyo-e* or *sensō-e* style, dating to the late 19th or early 20th century. Rendered on paper using water-based pigments, the panels illustrate a dynamic battle scene from the Sino-Japanese War, featuring soldiers in period uniforms, a fortified gate, and naval forces, all amidst heavy smoke. Visible Japanese text on the right panel appears to be a title, possibly referencing the “Sino-Japanese” and “Pyongyang,” with a smaller seal and inscription present on the left panel.


Condition report:

The print exhibits general age-related toning, some color fading, minor creasing, and surface wear consistent with its age. Evidence of past mounting or backing is visible on the reverse of the panels.
