An absurdly massive, Meiji Period, late 19th century collection of Ukiyo-e, or in this case, Nishiki-E woodblock color prints, comprising of 33 grand triptychs in 66 prints total depicting various scenes of the Sino-Japanese War, waged between the Japanese and Qing Empires.

From the great battles at Pyongyang, Port Arthur, Jiuliancheng, Weihaiwei, and so many more, hundreds, if not thousands of soldiers are displayed in numerous scenes of gripping warfare, fighting, bleeding, and dying for their respective empires. There are also several less tumultuous scenes, of diplomatic meetings as well.

All of the prints have been laid down and bound bizarrely in scroll format, almost in the manner of an emakimano handscroll, but the owner at the time went a step further, so that there are prints on both sides. I have never seen anything quite this unusual before.

One massive scroll of 66 ukiyo-e or Nishiki-e prints combined, forming 33 triptychs, roughly 38.5 x 745 cm

This collection is in good shape, with some wear and creasing to the prints throughout. The first triptych showing a diplomatic meeting shows heavier wear and some tearing.
