Posted By: Aad Kok Wed, Sep 12, 2012 IP: 83.87.178.4

I bought this week the following triptych depicting a scene fron sino-japanese war, I've been told. Does anyone knows the subject and the maker?

The artist is Utagawa Kokunimasa (1874-1944). This triptych, a so called 'sensô-e' (war print), was published in 1894 during the Sino-Japanese War (1894-95) indeed and is titled 'Pyonyan[heijô] rakujô shi wagahei daishôri'(Our army's great victory at Pyongyang Castle).
Cfr for another copy and description the Library of Congress (link below).

Kokunimasa (1874-1944) I think. The signature is in the lower left. You might want to blow it up a bit.
