A print constituting a military record of the Kagoshima war — one of the documentary images Chikanobu produced to satisfy public appetite for information about the Satsuma Rebellion of 1877. The "senso ki" (war record) format combined visual imagery with textual documentation, providing both a historical record and an accessible narrative of events for audiences without direct knowledge of the conflict. Chikanobu's war records are valuable historical documents as well as significant artistic works.
