Across the remaining panels, the brutal cost of battle is laid bare: fallen bodies, bloodied figures, and a severed head slung over a warrior’s shoulder create an unflinching portrayal of the violence of modern warfare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced shortly after Meiji-era restrictions on depicting contemporary conflicts were lifted, the print represents one of Yoshitoshi's earliest engagements with current historical events. His direct observation of the fighting lends the scene a raw immediacy, while lacquer accents and touches of mica enhance the surface with subtle texture and depth. The result is both a documentary record and a masterful example of Yoshitoshi's dramatic, emotionally charged style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Print color saturation and overall condition is very good.
