This vintage woodblock print, created during the early 20th century, reflects the dramatic and charged atmosphere of both the First Sino-Japanese War (1894–1895) and the Russo-Japanese War (1904–1905). The artwork, filled with vibrant imagery and political themes, portrays the nationalistic fervor and military tensions of the time.

The print measures 48 x 33 cm and is a prime example of the bold, satirical style that was common in wartime propaganda prints of that era. It depicts both military and political elements, capturing the essence of Japan’s imperial ambitions and the conflicts that shaped its early 20th-century history.

The print shows signs of age, including insect holes and significant restoration on the back with washi paper. Despite these imperfections, it remains a captivating historical piece, reflecting the intense political atmosphere of Japan’s rise as a world power.

A rare and significant find for collectors interested in the military history of Japan, wartime propaganda, or the art of the Meiji and Taisho periods. Ideal for display in any vintage art collection or as a unique conversation piece.
