A woodblock print from February 1895 depicting the fierce battle at Taipingshan (Pyongyang) during the First Sino-Japanese War — a major engagement in the Korean theater of the conflict, where Japanese forces overcame Chinese defenders in intense fighting. The Sino-Japanese War's land battles in Korea and Manchuria were documented by multiple print artists, and Chikanobu's contribution combined the compositional traditions of warrior art — charging figures, clashing weapons, dramatic use of space — with the specific visual details of modern military equipment and tactics.
