Description

A triptych rendered mostly in muted grey and black with touches of orange, tan, and red, depicting Japanese army officers in fur-trimmed greatcoats and peaked caps encamped on a hillside at night. In the left and center panels officers stand, sit on rocks, and warm themselves around a bonfire beneath a large pine tree, its smoke and firelight rising in soft orange plumes against the dark sky, while mounted soldiers pass along a ridge in the background; the right panel shows a mounted officer and foot soldiers on a shoreline overlooking a steamship and rowboats in the misty bay, with vertical title cartouches reading "榮城灣" and "上陸后之露營" in the upper corner. Shinohara Kiyooki, 1895.
