This image is a color woodblock print depicting a battle scene. The left side of the image shows a group of soldiers, some on horseback, charging forward; their posture and the movement of the horses suggest they are in the midst of a rapid advance. A prominent red sun on a white background—the symbol of the imperial Japanese flag—is visible among the soldiers, suggesting that they represent Japanese forces.

On the right side, a large traditional Chinese gate with green roof tiles is partially obscured by smoke. Some individuals are depicted falling from the battlements of the gate amidst the conflict, indicating the intensity and violence of the battle.

Smoke and action lines are used throughout the scene to convey the chaos and motion of the battle. There are trees and rocky terrain indicating the natural landscape where this battle takes place, contrasting with the brutality of human conflict. The use of muted colors with bright flags and flames gives the image a dynamic and dramatic atmosphere.

Text in the upper right corner of the image includes Japanese script, which suggests that this scene may be related to one of the battles during the Sino-Japanese War or another historical conflict involving Japanese forces. The stylization and format of the print suggest it is likely a work made in the tradition of Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints, produced by an artist aiming to capture a historical or propagandistic account of a military event.

This image appears to be a historical illustration of a battle scene. The image likely reflects a traditional Japanese woodblock print or similar artistic style. The setting includes a large castle or fortification with ornate, East-Asian architectural features, which appears to be under siege.

On the left side of the image, you see a structured formation of soldiers, most likely Japanese, advancing across a body of water or a river.

Thick clouds of smoke suggest heavy gunfire or cannon fire. The fortress itself is under attack, with parts of it engulfed in flames and soldiers either falling from the walls or attempting to defend it.

The trees and natural surroundings on the left juxtapose the violent battle taking place on the right, blending both natural beauty and the horrors of war in a single composition. The image overall portrays a dynamic and dramatic moment from a historical conflict, emphasizing movement, struggle, and confrontation.
