Great Victory of the Japanese Army at Asan in Korea

Kobayashi Ikuhide (mentioned on object), c. 1894

The Battle of Seonghwan was followed by a victory at the Bay of Asan. While we see a fierce battle, no fighting actually took place at Asan. The Chinese army had already abandoned its position prior to the arrival of the Japanese. These kinds of prints were often designed in Japan on the basis of reports from the front.
