Japanese Meiji period woodblock print triptych by Utagawa Kokunimasa (1874-1944), aka Ryua, titled “The battle between Japan and Russia at Seoul” depicting troops landing on the Korean peninsula at the start of the Russo-Japanese War. The print was published by Fukuda Hatsujiro and is dated in the cartouche at the lower left 2/1904. Signed at the lower right "Ryua" and with the artist's red "Edokko" seal below. Each of the three panels measures 14 1/2" - 14 5/8" x 9 3/4" (paper size). Good overall condition with very good color and full margins on the top and left side of each panel. The panels are tipped at the four corners to a thin japanese paper folder which caused some minor wrinkling of the paper at the corners and some waviness at the right side of the right panel. Minor soiling and spots at the bottom section of the right panel. An example of this image can be found in the online collection of the MFA Boston.
