Catalog note / 解説

"Nihon Banzai; Hyakusen Hyakusho" (Hurrah Japan; One Hundred Collected Laughs). The title was punned for the meaning of "One Hundred Battles, One Hundred Victories", also. Kiyochika studied the Western style newspaper caricatures. He made two Hyakusen Hyakusho series, one for Sino-Japanese War (1894-95) and another for Russo-Japanese War (1904-05). "Ume-he Kufu" (Clever Trick) The word, "Ume-he" was punned with the word for "burying". The two Japanese sailors are shutting Russian sailor's mouth (written as Ryojun-ko, Port Arthur) using war-ships as stakes.
