About this work
Rear-Admiral Kabayama Sukenori orders his ship, the Seikyô Maru, to attack the Chinese ship Yung-wei during the Battle of the Yellow Sea in September 1894. Kabayama had been ordered to keep the ship out of danger but was forced to take action when it became clear that the Chinese ship was trying to escape. This naval battle took place during the First Sino-Japanese War (1894-1895).
