The Triumphant Return of the Japanese Army after the Great Victory at Seonghwan

Kobayashi Ikuhide (mentioned on object), c. 1894

After a rebellion among the Korean population in the summer of 1894, the Korean court was compelled to invoke the help of the Chinese army. When Japan became involved, the conflict rapidly escalated. The first fights broke out at the end of July. The Japanese scored a major victory at the Battle of Seonghwan. Here we see their triumphant return to the capital of Seoul.
