Description

Private First Class Onoguchi Tokuji is commemorated in this February 1895 nishiki-e for his role in the fall of Jinzhou Fortress's Yong'an Gate — one of the individual acts of heroism in the Sino-Japanese War that Kiyochika's war print series documented alongside the broader tactical narratives of battle. The fortress-gate-breaching narrative, with its combination of individual courage and architectural drama, was a story type that recurred throughout Kiyochika's war imagery, echoing the Hyonmu Gate episodes of the Korean campaign.
