About This Print
Emperor Meiji, five year old Crown Prince Yoshito and Empress Shōken attend a celebration at the end of the Sino-Japanese War (1894-1895) which concluded in April 1895. While military officers raise a cheer, the emperor and the crown prince, in full military dress look on. Empress Shōken, however, wears traditional rather than Western dress.For more information on the war see the article Sino-Japanese War Prints (1894-1895).
