The composition captures the Battle of Fenghuangcheng, a conflict that took place in 1894. Nobukazu, a student of the famous printmaker Yoshitoshi, produced this work as part of the genre known as senso-e, or war prints. These images were produced rapidly to satisfy public demand for news and visual representations of the military campaigns occurring on the continent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scene features two mounted figures engaged in combat. On the left, a Qing dynasty officer wields a polearm while mounted on a grey horse. Opposite him, a Japanese officer in a modern military uniform brandishes a sword while riding a brown horse. The artist employs a triptych format, which allows for a wide, cinematic view of the battlefield. The background is relatively sparse, focusing the viewer's attention on the physical struggle between the two combatants. To the right, a Japanese soldier crouches in the tall grass, rifle at the ready, adding a sense of tactical depth to the composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNobukazu uses a clear, graphic style typical of late nineteenth-century Japanese printmaking. The lines are precise, defining the uniforms and the musculature of the horses with clarity. The colour palette remains restrained, relying on muted earth tones and soft washes to provide atmosphere without overwhelming the narrative focus. This print serves as a historical document of the visual culture of the Meiji period, reflecting how the Japanese public consumed information about the war through mass-produced woodblock imagery. The work is a characteristic example of the transition from traditional ukiyo-e subjects to modern historical and military themes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/an-actor-beside-water-utagawa-toyokuni-i\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eAn Actor Beside Water - Utagawa Toyokuni I — Utagawa Toyokuni I\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/oiso-saigyos-hut-at-shigitatsu-marsh-utagawa-hiroshige\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eOiso: Saigyo's Hut at Shigitatsu Marsh - Utagawa Hiroshige — Utagawa Hiroshige\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Yosai Nobukazu","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59072789381455,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59072792592719,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59072792625487,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59072792658255,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59072792691023,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59072792723791,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59072792756559,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59072792789327,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59072792822095,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59072792854863,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59072792887631,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59072792920399,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Sino-Japanese-War_-Two-Generals-at-the-Battle-of-Fenghuangcheng_Poster_CompositorV1_1791525935473.jpg?v=1791526545","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/sino-japanese-war-two-generals-at-the-battle-of-fenghuangcheng-yosai-nobukazu","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
