Very good condition overall with very little visible damage. Some creases from storage are present but can be minimized when framed. The image remains clean, with strong visual clarity.
This Meiji-era ukiyo-e woodblock print by Utagawa Kokunimasa, created in 1894, depicts Fierce Fighting at Pyongyang (平壌激戦之図) during the First Sino-Japanese War.
The composition shows Japanese cavalry officers charging forward with swords drawn, carrying the Rising Sun flag as they engage opposing forces. The dynamic movement and dramatic intensity reflect the style of wartime propaganda prints, emphasizing bravery, momentum, and military success.
Printed in a large-format triptych, the scene conveys scale and action across the composition, characteristic of late 19th-century battle prints.
A well-preserved and visually striking example of Meiji-period war imagery, suitable for collectors of Japanese military prints and historical ukiyo-e.
