The Japanese and Chinese Fleets in a Fierce Encounter off Dagushan
Watanabe Nobukazu (mentioned on object), 1894
The pictorial report of the naval battle had a marked propagandistic character. The Dingyuan – one of the two Chinese ironclad battleships with heavy artillery – suffered minor damage during the battle. However, a dramatic explosion on the Chinese vessel can be seen in the adjacent hexaptych at the right. This triptych even shows the Dingyuan foundering. In reality, the ironclad withstood the Japanese shelling relatively unscathed.
