Kobayashi Kiyochika Documents the Sino-Japanese War, 1894-1895

I was so struck by this image, which an art blogger was using as the banner on his site, that I had to look it up. I guessed that it was Japanese propoganda from the 1890s or 1900s, which I have written about here before. And lo! 

This is Scouting Party near Niuzhuang on a Snowy Night, by Kobayashi Kiyochika (1894). There is a lot of stuff by Kobayashi online, but none of his regular Japanese stuff (temples with cherry blossoms, boats on river, etc.) grabbed be like his military works.

Two with the same title, Japanese Forces Capturing the Pescadores Islands in Taiwan (1894)

The Japanese Army has Landed at Weihaiwei and is Marching Onward (1995)

And a panel from a triptych titled, Despite Heavy Artillery Like Rainfall, He Alone Opens the Hyonmu Gate (1894). These are all from Harvard University.
