Comments - Dramatic Kiyochika image from the Sino-Japanese War of Japanese troops celebrating their occupation of Liugong Island. In the center, a soldier raises the Japanese flag above a huge gun on the top of a fortress. The men raise their swords and wave their hats in victory, signaling the ships seen in silhouette at far upper right. In the center, one Japanese soldier stands atop a fallen Chinese soldier lying in the snow. A terrific composition, detailed with fine bokashi shading in the sky, also in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
