This print, published in February of 1895, the month of China's surrender, shows the Chinese fleeing before the giant strides of the Japanese army. It is from a series of fifty prints created by Kiyochika over the course of the war which make fun of the Chinese enemy. Other prints from the series appear on the wall above.
