Japanese ukiyo-e war print depicting naval battles during the First Sino-Japanese War,
consisting of three sheets that form a complete triptych. The artwork was created to report current events and celebrate Japanese military victories. The dramatic scenes include the Battle of the Yellow Sea, marked with the inscription “Victory in the Yellow Sea,” and the struggle of the battleships Akagi and Hiei. Some works are attributed to the renowned artist Kobayashi Kiyochika. Sensō-e often incorporate imaginative or exaggerated elements to enhance drama and nationalist sentiment. The triptych is well-preserved and holds significant historical, artistic, and collectible value.
