This Tokyo-published print, issued by Shobido & Co. around 1919, shows fighting along the Amur, the river that forms part of the boundary between the Russian Far East and Manchuria. It dates to the Siberian Intervention, when Japanese forces joined other Allied troops in Siberia after the 1917 Russian Revolution and clashed with Bolshevik and partisan units in the region. Japanese publishers often issued illustrated war pictures like this one to show domestic audiences their country's troops in action, so the image is best read as both a record of the campaign and a view of how it was presented at home.
