About this artwork
This print dates from 1895 and belongs to Kobayashi Kiyochika's series Mirror of Army and Navy Heroes, made in the period of the First Sino-Japanese War. Its subject is the engineer Onoguchi Tokuji, named in the title. Kiyochika was a ukiyo-e artist, and his prints of that war were popular at the time. Across his work he often used a play of light and shade inspired by Western art. This sheet is now part of the British Library's collection of prints of the war.
On your wall: Suited to a study, hallway or reading corner, where a historical Japanese print adds a thoughtful note to a calm, understated room.

About Kobayashi Kiyochika
Kobayashi Kiyochika was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist, known for colour woodblock prints and newspaper illustrations made during the Meiji period (1868–1912). His work records Japan's rapid modernisation, from red-brick buildings and trains to scenes of the First Sino-Japanese War. He used light and shade inspired by Western art, and many collectors regard his prints as the last significant ukiyo-e.
