About this work

A triptych woodblock print in the Japanese style shows soldiers in dark uniforms with red-topped caps operating cannons on a rocky shore at night. A bright searchlight beam sweeps across the water toward a fortified shoreline where shells burst and smoke rises, with a distant pavilion visible on the left.
