Japan's ascendance into a colonial power in the late 19th century was the subject of many Meiji-period woodblock print makers. These senso-e (war pictures) depicting battles and heroes of the Sino-Japanese and Russo-Japanese Wars were romanticized snapshots of valiant victories in combat, but were also celebrations of real military achievements that laid the foundations of Japan's imperial rise in the 20th century.
