The artwork depicts a Japanese soldier in a Western-style military uniform, which was common during the Meiji era as Japan modernized its military forces. The print style is ukiyo-e, a genre of Japanese art that became less common during this period due to competition with photography and lithography but was still used to depict contemporary events, particularly the Sino-Japanese War (1894–1895) and the Russo-Japanese War (1904–1905).
Printed as an archival pigment giclée on premium matte art paper. Limited edition runs, hand-numbered. Ships unframed, rolled in a protective tube.
