  Japanese War Prints
Japanese woodcut prints depicting scenes from the Sino-Japanese war of 1894-1895 and the Russo-Japanese war of 1904-1905 are usually called War Prints by collectors.
Nevertheless, Japanese woodcut prints glorifying the Sino Japanese and the Russo Japanese war are an important part of the history of ukiyo-e.
Japanese woodcut prints glorifying the two wars were made by all major artists and by a great number of designers whose dates are not even known and who are sometimes unknown for any other print output.
