Comments - Terrific scene from the Sino-Japanese War of Japanese troops attacking Fort Hojo near Wei-Hai-Wei during the Battle of the 100 Foot Cliff. In the center, an officer on horseback thrusts his sword out to urge his men ahead as he gallops through the snow. Carrying guns with bayonets fixed, the men rush to follow. Behind them, a general watches from his horse among the trees. At left, soldiers engage the enemy in hand-to-hand combat, meeting them just below the walls of the fort. A light snow falls over the mountainous landscape, the sky dusted with mica in the center panel. A handsome composition with fine bokashi shading and burnished details on the black uniforms.
