Comments - Fantastic depiction of the attack on the Hundred-foot Cliff at Fort Hojo near Weihaiwei during the Sino-Japanese War. Japanese soldiers shelter behind high snow drifts, firing over the top of them, the men at left lying prone along the hills of snow. In the center, a man shovels snow out of the way with a shallow scoop. Red-orange flames and a cloud of smoke rise from the fort in the distance, lighting up the wintry gray sky. Troops can be seen in silhouette moving through the heavily falling snow. A fine, atmospheric subject with beautiful bokashi shading. The Boston Museum of Fine Arts has this image in its collection.
