Japan 1894-95 Sino-Japanese Ukiyo-e original multicolour woodblock print triptych, 'The Japanese Navy Sinks Chinese Cruiser Zhiyuan in the Yellow Sea', Oct 1894 by Kaboyashi Kiyochika (1847-1915). As John W Dower from MIT (Massachusettes Institute of Technology) Visualizing Cultures put it: 'Kiyochika let his imagination run wild. His subject was the Cruiser Zhiyuan (detailed information from Wikipedia provided) which sank near the mouth of the Yalu (Yellow) River. Where most prints imagined the Japanese annihilating their opponents on choppy seas, Kiyochika's doomed vessel is already under water, plunging to the bottom with tiny drowned figures floating, suspended in the brine. Standing in almost giddy contrast to this is a startling depiction of sailors cheering the sinking of a Chinese warship on the deck of their small torpedo boat amid turbulent waves, they are already drinking in celebration and obviously sloshed in more ways than one'. 'Tiny rag-doll-like Chinese drown in the sea as a Chinese ship plunges to the bottom. A typical example of the almost reflexive dehumanization of the enemy found in many of the war prints'. This is a very rare perspective (35.3x70.4cm). One print found in Saint Louis Art Museum collection object # 192:2010a-c. A similar woodblock was sold by Christie's for US$2640 (A$4034, est U$1000-1500), sales record attached.

It analogises the loosing cities of China during the Sino-Japanese War (1894-45) to the prizes of the ring toss game. For instance 'bottle of Port Arthur (fell on 21 Nov 1894)', 'locker of Jinzhou (fell on 9 Nov)' & 'pillow of Dalian (fell on 10 Nov)' etc. The Chinese owner of the ring toss game is bowing & begging the laughing Westerner to play & the prizes are tucked in the space & all up for grasp. The series is one of Kiyochika's most unusual works & acted as wartime propaganda to foster patriotism & encourage support for the war demonstrating Japan's superiority & might over its Chinese enemies. Kiyochika's satiric depictions poked fun at the Chinese & flaunted the new modernisation of Meiji era Japan as superior to the old ways of China.
