The Second Army's assault on Lüshun (Port Arthur) in November-December 1894 — the siege that became the war's most controversial episode due to the massacre of Chinese civilians that followed — is depicted in this December 1894 nishiki-e as a straightforward military operation. Kiyochika's composition shows Japanese troops assaulting the modern fortifications of the Russian-designed port defences, the heavy fighting conveyed through smoke, flash, and the press of advancing infantry.
