First Division Approaching Fengtian (Daiichigun Hôten-fu shingeki no zu), Meiji period, dated 1894

A third panel from the series depicting the First Division's march on Fengtian, dated 1894, and likely the rightmost or leftmost sheet of a triptych composition. In Japanese triptych war prints, the outer panels often establish terrain and scale — expanses of road, ranks of soldiers receding into distance — while the central sheet carries the focal action. This panel may show flanking units, artillery trains, or supply columns moving through Manchurian countryside. The dated inscription places production contemporaneously with the campaign itself, as publishers rushed prints to market while public interest was highest. Gekko's line work in such prints tends to be precise and descriptive rather than gestural.
