The Sino-Japanese War print showing Japanese military might capturing Pyongyang—the first major land battle of the war in September 1894—depicts the victory that cleared the Korean peninsula of Chinese forces and opened the path for operations in Manchuria. The capture of Pyongyang, achieved through a coordinated attack on the walled city from multiple directions, was a complex tactical success that the panoramic print format accommodated by organizing multiple simultaneous actions across its spread.
