The artwork measures 37.4 x 25.1 cm and showcases the artist's mastery of color and composition. The print depicts a Japanese ship personified as a cat, fiercely chasing two Chinese battleships represented as rats into a bag. This imagery is laden with political undertones, reflecting the historical tensions between Japan and China during that period. Kobayashi Kiyochika skillfully captures the dynamic movement of the cat-ship pouncing on its prey while conveying an atmosphere of urgency and conflict. The bold colors used in this woodcut add depth to the narrative, enhancing our understanding of the power dynamics at play. This artwork from Liszt Collection serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical document, shedding light on significant events shaping East Asian relations at that time.
