Description
A print depicting a great naval victory during the First Sino-Japanese War — one of the numerous battle images Chikanobu produced during and after the 1894–1895 conflict that established Japan as a major military power in East Asia. The naval battles of the Sino-Japanese War, particularly the Battle of the Yellow Sea, demonstrated the superiority of Japan's modernized Imperial Navy over the Chinese Beiyang Fleet, and prints celebrating these victories served both as news reporting and national celebration.
