Description
A collection of three multi-sheet Japanese woodblock prints (ukiyo-e triptychs), dating to the Meiji period (late 19th century), each depicting military or martial subjects. The first triptych illustrates a dramatic naval battle featuring modern warships, explosions, and figures in rough seas, displaying apparent Japanese flags. The second triptych depicts scenes of land combat and encampment, showing soldiers in Western-style uniforms apprehending figures and marching, also under Japanese flags. The third triptych presents a symbolic or allegorical assembly of figures, some in traditional Japanese samurai armor and others in Western military uniforms, framed by decorative borders. All prints are on paper, executed with multiple colors of ink, and include vertical Japanese text panels and red seals.
Condition report:
General paper toning, some color fading, minor creasing, small tears along edges, and apparent trimming are visible across the prints, consistent with age and handling.
