In the Battle of Nanshan Our Troops Took Advantage of a Violent Thunderstorm and Charged the Enemy Fortress (Jinraifûu Nanzan no eki waga gun noshite tekirui o tosshin su)

A woodblock print triptych by Kobayashi Kiyochika depicting a nighttime battle scene on a hillside, with rows of soldiers advancing and firing rifles amid bursts of smoke and muzzle flashes. A brilliant white searchlight or lightning beam cuts diagonally across the dark sky above the mountains, illuminating the scene in stark contrast to the black night and grey smoke clouds. The palette is dominated by blacks, greys, and whites, with the composition divided into three vertical panels showing the advancing line of troops in the foreground and distant hills beyond.
