Description

A Japanese woodblock print triptych, likely dating to the Meiji period (late 19th to early 20th century), depicting a dynamic winter battle scene with cavalry and infantry in Western-influenced military uniforms amidst snowy mountains. Executed in a style characteristic of Ukiyo-e or Meiji-era illustration, the print features visible Japanese text in cartouches and vertical columns on the upper right of the rightmost and central panels, with a publisher’s block and artist’s seals present in the lower left of the leftmost panel.
