"Great Victory for the Japanese Army at P'yông Yang (Nichigun Heijô taisho no zu), Meiji period, dated 1894"

A second variant sheet from Gekko's Pyongyang victory series, dated 1894 and produced during the height of public enthusiasm for First Sino-Japanese War prints. Publishers rushed battle imagery to market within weeks of military dispatches, and Gekko responded with multiple compositions covering different moments and vantage points of the same engagement. This sheet may depict a flanking action, an officer directing troops, or the aftermath of the city's fall, complementing the narrative carried by the other panels in the series. The [oban](/glossary/oban) format allowed for sufficient compositional detail to convey the scale of a pitched battle while remaining affordable as a commercial print. Gekko's handling of smoke, distant terrain, and massed figures in this genre shows his facility with adapting traditional landscape and figure conventions to modern military subject matter.
