This woodblock printing by an unknown artist depicts the Sino-Japanese War. It is very famous because it is about a very important fight at Port Arthur. It is the standard size of woodblock triptych. It is in black and white renderings that are similar to Western practice of details. There are not many that are of very important battle scenes with this much detail.
