Mirror of Army and Navy Heroes - Handsome portrait from Kiyochika's 1895 series depicting heroes of the Sino-Japanese War with China. His subjects range from courageous enlisted men to seasoned commanding officers, shown on the battlefield or behind the lines, engaged in a variety of activities. These bold designs provide a great contemporary record of the men involved in this historic conflict. A fine choice for a student of military history.

Lieutenant General Katsura - Lieutenant General Katsura Taro had a distinguished career in the Japanese Imperial Army and later in the Meiji government. During the Sino-Japanese War, he led his division in a difficult march across the northeast corner of the Yellow Sea to Haicheng in the middle of winter, eventually occupying Niuchwang. He is shown here bundled up in a fur-lined coat as he holds the reins of his horse, which wears plaid blankets against the cold.
