Comments - Terrific scene of Onoguchi Tokuji, who became a hero during the Sino-Japanese War. A soldier in the Second Army, Onoguchi destroyed two gates at Jinzhou Fortress with dynamite, leading to a Japanese victory. He is shown just outside the stone walls of the fortress as the explosion takes place, sending orange flames and clouds of black smoke issuing from the gate. A hail of bullets rains down all around him, and several dead enemies lie on the ground. A title cartouche at upper left tells the story in both English and kanji characters. A dramatic design with beautiful shading. The Boston Museum of Fine Arts has this image in its collection.
