Description

A Japanese woodblock print triptych, executed in the ukiyo-e style, depicting a dynamic military battle scene. The composition features two opposing factions: one uniformed in modern Western-style military attire, armed with rifles and displaying a “Rising Sun” flag, and the other in more traditional East Asian garments. Visible Japanese characters appear in a vertical title cartouche on the rightmost panel, and a smaller block on the bottom left of the leftmost panel, as well as on banners and clothing insignias. Printed on paper.


Condition report:

The work exhibits overall toning and discoloration, significant fading of the original colors, and minor surface wear and creasing consistent with its apparent late 19th-century period.
